The wind was blowing through your hair   The moon was shinin' on your face   It looked like a picture sittin' there   And time stood still there in that place      The water was singing    And our hearts were beating fast   Two high school lovers   Thinkin' it would always last      Down by the riverside   On a warm summer night   We gave into passion    For the very first time      We fumbled with love   Till we got it right   And we found heaven   Down by the riverside      Now you’re nothin’ but a ghost   That still haunts my memory   And you’re always waiting there   When I go walkin' through my dreams      There’s no happy ending   But I know our love will last   Cause when i close my eyes   You always take me back      Down by the riverside   On a warm summer night   We gave into passion    For the very first time      We fumbled with love    Till we got it right   And we found heaven   Down by the riverside      On a warm summer night    We gave into passion    For the very first time      We fumbled with love   Till we got it right   And we found heaven   Down by the riverside
