Unchained Melody

The Righteous Brothers

Oh, my love, my darling, I've hungered for your touch
This long, lonely time.
Any time goes by so slowly, but time can do so much.
Are you still mine?

I need your love, I need your love.
God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea, yeah.
Lonely voices cry, wait for me, wait for me.
I'll be coming home, wait for me.
