Unchained Melody Lyrics

Oh my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time

And time goes by so slowly
And 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
Lonely rivers sigh
"Wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home
Wait for me

Oh my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time

And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love
To me

Ok...this song is a different meaning for me...ok not different but it makes me tear up each time i hear it. The day my boyfriend left to go to Kuwait....i talked to him for a half hour before he left then you know i cried...but when i got in the car to go to work...this song came on and it just made me cry more because of what he says "time goes by so slowly, and time can do so much are you still mine?" "lonely rivers sigh wait for me, i'll be coming home wait for me" it was almost like it was meant to be sung to me from my boyfriend. but he didnt sing it to me so...eh..but it still makes me sad when i hear it cause i miss him so damn much

this just broke my heart. i hope he is home safe and in your arms again.

This song is one of the most romantic songs to slow-dance to. The beat is so slow, with each word drawn out like a beautiful lullabye. It really makes you go slow and savor dancing with someone special.

While it's a love song, I have a hard time getting through it without tearing up! The lyrics are romantic and illustrate that deep, never-ending kind of love...but there's also a sadness to it. The part about the river flowing to the sea makes me think of death....like the river eventually meets the great ocean, so do we flow forward to our eventual return to something bigger than us. It makes me think he has passed and is telling his love to wait, until we meet again.

One of the only songs that makes me so sad and happy at the same time!

My Opinion

My boyfriend lives across the country and we are madly in love. He came to visit me and today he gave me a small round wooden music box that plays this song. He didn’t recognize that the music box played this song until I told him. It never hit me until now how much this song really shows what it’s like to be in a long distance relationship. The ache you feel for your partner’s embrace is so strong. It doesn’t help that neither of you can just drop everything to see each other. That makes everything go by so much more slowly. You need them and you can’t live without them. Like all long term relationships you can’t help but occasionally wonder if they are still yours, distance doesn’t make those thoughts any easier. You can’t wait to hold them again and you miss them every single second of every day.
