Lace - Swept Away lyrics

(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
