How long I cry till the river run dry?
How long I cry till the river run dry?
U used 2 see me
But U don't see me no more
U used 2 touch me
But U don't touch me no more
How long I cry till the river run dry?
Oh, how long I cry till the river run dry?
Our love affair I thought would be
6 4evers and a week
Stick pin jab in the middle of a dream
No love at the end of the rainbow
How long I cry till the river run dry?
Oh, how long I cry till the river run dry?
When U would hold me
Circles my heart danced
U never told me
That our love, it had no chance
300 tears crystaline
Each one contaning a memory it seems
Stick pin jab in the middle of a dream
No love at the end of the rainbow
How long I cry till the river run dry?
Oh, how long I cry till the river run dry?
No, how long I cry till the river run dry?
Oh, oh why must I till the river run dry?
Oh, till the river run dry
Oh
How long I cry till the river run dry?
U used 2 see me
But U don't see me no more
U used 2 touch me
But U don't touch me no more
How long I cry till the river run dry?
Oh, how long I cry till the river run dry?
Our love affair I thought would be
6 4evers and a week
Stick pin jab in the middle of a dream
No love at the end of the rainbow
How long I cry till the river run dry?
Oh, how long I cry till the river run dry?
When U would hold me
Circles my heart danced
U never told me
That our love, it had no chance
300 tears crystaline
Each one contaning a memory it seems
Stick pin jab in the middle of a dream
No love at the end of the rainbow
How long I cry till the river run dry?
Oh, how long I cry till the river run dry?
No, how long I cry till the river run dry?
Oh, oh why must I till the river run dry?
Oh, till the river run dry
Oh
