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
