(Cathy Majeski/John Scott Sherrill)
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
