We spent all night down by the riverside Laughin at nothing and talking too much And the moonlight was so bright in your eyes Before I knew it I was falling in love It was too cold to swI'm so we just lay there On the bank til the break of day Though we never went in the water We were swept away And the river rolled And the night got cold But you held me close And you warmed my soul We spent all night down by the riverside Wonderin how it happened so fast And it sure did take us by surprise When that mornin sun came up at last It was too cold to swI'm so we just lay there On the bank til the break of day Though we never went in the water We were swept away [Chorus] And the river rolled And the night got cold But you held me close And you warmed my soul Repeat chorus We spent all night down by the riverside It was too cold to swI'm so we just lay there On the bank til the break of day Though we never went in the water We were swept away [Repeat chorus] [Repeat chorus] We spent all night down by the riverside
