B         G#m
Oh, oh my love
       E
Oh my darling
      F#                B
I've hungered for your touch
   G#m              F#
A long  and lonely time

     B        G#m
And time goes by
     E
So slowly

And time can do so much

Are you still mine?

 E             F#
Lonely rivers flow
        E           D
To the sea, to the sea
 E          F#           B
To the open arms of the sea

Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me

Oh, oh my love
Oh my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time

And time goes by
So slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?

God speed your love to me
