Unchained Melody (Words & music: Alex North / Hy Zaret) Oh, my love, my darling, I've hungered for your touch A long lonely time. 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 cry, »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. I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me. Recorded: 1977/04/24, first released on Moody Blue, June 1977 Until It's Time For You To Go (Words & music: Buffy Sainte-Marie) You're not a dream, you're not an Angel, You're a woman. I'm not a king, Just a man, Take my hand. We'll make a space in this life That we planned And here we'll stay until it's time For you to go. Yes, we're diff'rent worlds apart, We're not the same. We laughed and played at the start Like in a game. You could have stayed outside my heart, But in you came, And here you'll stay until it's time For you to go. Don't ask why, don't ask how, Don't ask forever, love me, love me, Love me, love me now. This love of mine had no beginning, It has no end. I was an oak, now I'm a willow, Now I can bend. And tho' I'll never in my life See you again, Still I'll stay until it's time For you to go. Don't ask why, don't ask how, Don't ask forever, love me, love me, Love me, love me now. This love of mine had no beginning, It has no end. I was an oak, now I'm a willow, Now I can bend. Tho' I'll never in my life See you again, Here I'll stay until it's time For you to go. Yes, I'll stay until it's time For you to go. Recorded: 1971/05/17, first released on single, January 1972 Up Above My Head (Words & music: W. Earl Brown) Up above my head There's music in the air. Up above my head There's music in the air. Up above my head There's music in the air, oh yeah, And I really do believe, Really do believe, really do believe There's a heaven somewhere. There's a heaven somewhere.
