We had such a hell of a time
On the banks of the river drinking too much wine
Uh huh yeah
Oh, yeah
Sat by the water smoking cigarettes
Told me those words I can't forget
Oh, yeah
Uh huh 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 yea
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 yea
By the river
Meet me by the river
By the river
Oh yea
Oh I see you passing that sweet 'ol Moon
You thinkin' of me
'Cause I'm thinkin' of you
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah

I've been thinking 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
Five toes in
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 yea
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 yea
By the river
Meet me by the river
By the river
Oh yea
Meet me by the river
Where it all began

Let's go back to the place where our love burned brighter tan the Sun
Oh yeah
