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
