Down by the river in the full moon light
Just movin' slow
Baby, get ready
Where the cool grass grows
By the ol' stump road
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Feels so good to be with you
The days are gettin' long
Where the cool grass grows
Just movin' slow
I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows
Down by the river in the full moon light
You and me going fishing in the dark
Waited all winter for the time to be right, just to take you along
Down by the river in the full moon light
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
You and me going fishing in the dark
You and me going fishing in the dark
Stayin' the whole night through
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
And it don't matter if we sit forever
Baby, get ready
Stayin' the whole night through
Baby, get ready
Just movin' slow
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Spring is almost over and the summer's comin'
Baby, get ready
Across the field where the creek turns back
You and me going fishing in the dark
And the fish don't bite
Crickets are singin' and the lightning bugs are floatin' on the breeze
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Stayin' the whole night through
Feels so good to be with you
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Stayin' the whole night through
Feels so good to be with you
Down by the river in the full moon light
Where the cool grass grows
Just movin' slow
Jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night
Where the cool grass grows
