It was a beautiful night out on the water Frogs were croaking and the wind was warm You steered the boat across to the island We were so much in love had to be on our own Your lips were red and your eyes were blue It wasn't hard to fall for you You stole my heart and my body too And we were off on our own And there were stars in the water We were floating down the Milky Way And the moon was slowly rising Shining down on Lake Lavallee And in the heat of the night You loved me so right in the pale moonlight Now all through the years I often wondered Why we never got married when that summer was through But you went to college and I moved to L.A. Every night when I'm lonesome I still think of you
