I'm not through loving you, it's just that you're gone
Nothing I can say or do can undo what's done
You took my heart along when you went away
I gave all my love, I'll get it back some day

In the river of time I'll forgive and forget
Sweet peace of mind will be just 'round the bend
I'll stay afloat on the tears that I've cried
And let the memories all go down the river of time

I'll never be over you, just over the pain
Moments of hope will shine through the hours of rain
I'll count 'em every one till I start to lose track
I'll make it through this night and get the morning back

In the river of time I'll forgive and forget
Sweet peace of mind will be just 'round the bend
I'll stay afloat on the tears that I've cried
And let the memories all go down the river of time

Down the river of time, down the river of time
