We had such a hell of a time
On the banks of the river a drinking too much wine
Oh yeah, oh yeah

We sat by the water smoking cigarettes
And you told me those words that I can't forget
Oh yeah, oh yeah

When we were together
Those were the days that couldn't get much better
I feel the same, you feel the same
I told ya
I'll be waiting for you

So meet me by the river
Where it all begun
Let's go back to the place where our love
Burned brighter than sun
Oh yeah

Meet me by the river
Where it all begun
Let's go back to the place where our love
Burned brighter than sun
Oh yeah

By the river
Meet me by the river
By the river
Oh yeah

Oh I see it rising, that sweet old moon
Are you thinking of me
'Cause I'm thinking of you
Oh yeah, oh oh yeah

Been thinking bout those eyes of the deepest green
I don't know my mind
But I know what I have seen
Oh yeah

When we were together
Those were the days that couldn't get much better
I do believe, I do believe
I told ya
I'll be waiting for you

So meet me by the river
Where it all begun
Let's go back to the place where our love
Burned brighter than sun
Oh yeah

Meet me by the river
Where it all begun
Let's go back to the place where our love
Burned brighter than sun
Oh yeah

By the river
Meet me by the river
By the river
Oh yeah

Meet me by the river
Where it all begun
Let's go back to the place where our love
Burned brighter than sun
Oh yeah
