Unchained Melody
Gino Mor. Orchestra Lyrics

Oh, my love, my darling,
Expressing deep affection towards a loved one.

I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time,
Describing a deep longing for physical contact with the loved one and a sense of loneliness during their absence.

Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much.
Reflecting on the perceived length of time spent apart from the loved one and the impact time can have on a relationship.

Are you still mine?
Expressing uncertainty and a desire for confirmation of the loved one's loyalty.

I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me.
Affirming the importance of the loved one's love and requesting that it be given with urgency.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
Metaphorically comparing oneself to a river, symbolizing a feeling of being isolated and moving forward through life's uncertain journey.

To the open arms of the sea
Continuation of the river metaphor, imagining the sea as a comforting, supportive force that the river flows towards.

Lonely rivers sigh, "Wait for me, wait for me"
A plea to the sea to wait and provide a sense of hope or reassurance.

"I'll be coming home, wait for me!"
Asserting a determination to reach a state of contentment and a promise to return and find peace in that state.

Are you still mine?
Reiterating the desire to know if the loved one is still devoted.

I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me.
Reiterating the importance of the loved one's love and requesting its swift arrival.
