Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
We had such a hell of a time
On the banks of the river drinking too much wine
Oh-oh, yeah, oh-oh, yeah
Sat by the water smoking cigarettes
Told me those words that I can't forget
Oh-oh, yeah, oh-oh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
When we were together, those were the days
It couldnt get much better
I feel the same, you feel the same
I told you, I'll be waiting for you

[Chorus]
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
Lets go back to the place
Where our love burned brighter than the sun, oh yeah

[Post-Chorus]
By the river
Meet me by the river
By the river
Oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Oh and slip past this sweet old moon
You thinkin' of me? 'Cause I'm thinkin' of you
Oh, yeah-yeah, oh-oh, yeah
Been thinking 'bout those eyes of the deepest green
I don't know my mind, but I know what I see
Oh-oh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
When we were together, those were the days
It couldn't get much better
I do believe, I do believe
I told you, Ill be waiting for you

[Chorus]
So meet me by the river
Where it all began
Lets 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

[Post-Chorus]
By the river
Meet me by the river
By the river
Oh, yeah
Meet me by the river
Where it all began
Lets go back to the place
Where our love burned brighter than the sun, oh yeah
