[English]

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
