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

Sat by the water smoking cigarettes
Told me those words that I can't forget
Oh yeah
Ahha yeah

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

So meet me By The River
Where it all began
Let's go back to the place
Where our love burned brighter than the sun
Oh yeah
Meet me By The River
Where it all began
Let's go back to the place
Where our love burned brighter than the sun
Oh yeah, uh!

By The River
Meet me By The River
By The River
Oh yeah

Oh I see it rising, that sweet old moon
Are you thinkin' of me 'cause I'm thinkin' of you
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Been thinking 'bout those eyes of the deepest green
I don't know my mind but I know what I see
Oh yeah

And we were together
Those were the days
It couldn't get much better
I do believe
I do believe
I told you
I'll be waiting for you

So meet me By The River
Where it all began
Let's go back to the place
Where our love burned brighter than the sun
Oh yeah
Meet me By The River
Where it all began
Let's go back to the place
Where our love burned brighter than the sun
Oh yeah, uh!

By The River
Meet me By The River
By The River
Oh yeah

Meet me By The River
Where it all began
Let's go back to the place
Where our love burned brighter than the sun
Oh yeah
