They say that time will heal
But time takes so long
And timing is the key
To every love's success
Just like an old man casts his line across the water
And waits as diamonds fade upon the darkened waves
I watch the saddest season change
From my side of the river
I know that nothing stays the same
And we will be together
Now all around the trees turn green to brown to bare
Across the smoke stacks hangs a sorrow in the air
And as the night turns cold above the brooklyn bridge
I make one wish and cast it from the river's edge
Chorus
