Ohhhhhhhhhhh, my love, my darling,

[ET Awful]

I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time.

And 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 sigh, 'Wait for me, wait for me'
'I'll be coming home, wait for me!'

Oh, my love, my darling, I hunger, hunger!, for your love,
A long, lonely time.

And 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.

1. Absolute CLASSIC. And Bono's rendition makes me almost cry it's

so lovely.

The Righteous Brothers!

3. For the un-initiated amongst us, such as I, could you suggest a

link please? Love this song! Love Bono!

9. mm, I have no idea where one would find a link to that song as rendered

by Bono... I heard it live, I believe.

I do hope he's recorded it on some record for posterity.

5. When I was a kid, I thought the Righteous Brothers were black

For the longest time I thought this. Righteous "Brothers"? Great singers? Come on.

7. Rumor has it that the name was actually a result of them performing

at a "black" club and one of the patrons told them afterwards "That was righteous brother!" (as in a RIGHTEOUS performance to use the vernacular of the time) and the name stuck. . . or so my mom tells me :).

Considering that their names were Hatfield and Medley, I hardly think they used the family name as their performing name :).

6. Love it... wish I hadn't used it for my first dance at my wedding!LOL!

It took a while after my divorce before I wanted to listen to it again. Beautiful song. :loveya:

8. Well, it was a better pick than . . .

Wind Beneath My Wings :)
