Down by the boathouse at Shaker Lake   When there wasn't nothing but love to make   They were two young lovers wishing on the stars above   Well, they carved their initials in an old birch tree   With a heart and an arrow and a '63   You had to be blind not to see it was a perfect love      It was a perfect love oh, yeah, yeah   Well, they worked one summer together at the '64 World's Fair   They met Robert Kennedy there   Well, that was right before the fall      And they saved up a little bit of money for his career   And they talked about the future underneath the giant sphere   And all around them, the little voices were singing   It's a small world after all, yes it is, small world after all   And it was perfect love      It was a perfect love oh, yeah, yeah   (Under the moon and stars above it was a perfect love)      Now they were dizzy from dancing on Rockaway beach   They came to Rockaway   Yeah, and everything they dreamed of was still within reach   Dreaming, dreaming as the years roll by   Like they always do      Well, they had their share of hard times, too   But whatever they were, they never let it get them down   Now, they just go walking down a country lane   See the leaves changing in the misty rain   And only one thing remains the same, woah ooh, yeah, yeah      Just a perfect love, ooh, yeah, yeah, perfect love   (Under the moon and stars above it was a perfect love)      Under the moon and stars above it was a perfect love
