Unchained Melody Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, oh my love
Oh, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time

[Verse 2]
And time goes by
So slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?

[Chorus]
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

[Bridge]
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
[Verse 1]
Oh, oh my love
Oh, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time

[Verse 2]
And time goes by
So slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?

[Chorus]
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
It to me
God speed your love to me

[Outro]
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
