Thanks secretagent. Joni’s version. The lyrics from unchained melody are in Joni’s song and the piano too, which is distinct at the beginning. This is ....

Thanks inthewoods... Joni’s song is a mix of two other songs done well.I like this line in her mix ‘ We look like our mothers did now when we were those kids age.’

I have always been partial to the Righteous Brothers singing this song, but I learned something by looking it up, It Originally came out in 1955, and was sung but NUMEROUS Singers, even Elvis, This Video shows the groups and people who sang the song over the years, I was surprised myself, but watching this video was an eye opener for me... This song carries great History, here it is...

This live version is the best recording of the song I've heard. Flawless. Bobby Hatfield had a five octave range. The man was a master at his craft.

Nothing last for long? Well, most forms of art does last for long. Famous paintings, music, dance. Except sculptures...

HotrodLarrys: That was an Awesome Version....
Bill Medley said they knew the song wouldn't work as duet so they flipped a coin and Bobby won. Bill was glad in retrospect because he knew that Bobby made the song his and he could not have done it as well.------ This thread is Archived ------

Listen a little closer maybe 
Caught in the middle
Carol, we're middle class
We're middle aged
We were wild in the old days
Birth of rock 'n roll days
Now your kids are coming up straight
And my child's a stranger
I bore her
But, I could not raise her
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Down at the Chinese Cafe
We'd be dreaming on our dimes
We'd be playing
"Oh my love, my darling"
One more time
Uranium money
Is booming in the old home town now
It's putting up sleek concrete
Tearing the old landmarks down now
Paving over brave little parks
Ripping off Indian land again
How long, how long
Short sighted business men
Ah, nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Down at the Chinese Cafe
We'd be dreaming on our dimes
We'd be playing
"You give your love, so sweetly"
One more time
Christmas is sparkling
Out on Carol's lawn
This girl of my childhood games
With kids nearly grown and gone
Grown so fast
Like the turn of a page
We look like our mothers did now
When we were those kids' age
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Nothing lasts for long
Down at the Chinese Cafe
We'd be dreaming on our dimes
We'd be playing
"Oh my love, my darling
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."
(Time goes, where does the time go
I wonder where the time goes)

I listened to her version again and didn't hear any lyrics that are from the original Unchained Melody.------ This thread is Archived ------

Hi 09... At the end of the song, see the lyrics above you, the unchained part is at the end of the song, she blends the songs so well it's hard to tell...

Oh, my love, my darlingI'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 sigh
"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
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 mountains gaze
At the stars, at the stars
Waiting for the dawn of the day
All alone I gaze
At the stars, at the stars
Dreaming of my love far away
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

This song is absolute... I was lucky to hear her perform this song live.
Time and lost youth ...
