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    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 swim 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 swim 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
