C I will wait by the river In the light of the moon At the edge of the city I will wait for you F Though I can't wait forever Someday I'll be dead and gone And I won't be forgiven F C For what I've done Chorus: C I will wait by the river I will wait by the river I will wait by the river I will wait by the river I will cry out to heaven as it rains down on me I will beg for forgiveness, get down on my knees If I can't change the weather, maybe I can change your mind If we can't be together, what's the point of life? C Baby, I didn't mean the things I said I don't honestly wish you were dead I'm a fool; I'm just a man If I only could hold you again F And the stars fill the river As it flows into the sky And the mind leaves the body And floats higher and higher If we can't be together I will leave this world behind If I can't touch your body C Can I touch the sky?
