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 swim so we just lay there On the bank, 'til the break of day And though we never went in the water Oh darling, we were swept away And the river rolled and the night got cold But you held me close and you warmed my soul And we spent all night down by the riverside Wonderin' how it happened so fast And it sure did take us by surprise When that morning sun it came up at last It was too cold to swim so we just lay there On the bank, 'til the break of day And though we never went in the water Deep down, we were swept away And the river rolled and the night got cold But you held me closed and you warmed my soul And we spent all night down by the riverside Oooh baby It was too cold to swim so we just lay there On the bank, 'til the break of day And though we never went in the water Oh darling, we were swept away Though we never went in the water We were swept away We were swept away
