Once was a girl from a small country town

Swore she'd leave and never turn around

'Til she found herself walking through meadows of June

Birds singin' tunes

Soft air as sweet as perfume

It was that time of year when the trees held onto their green

When the days were long

And the nights were tender and sweet

And in the moonlight

She swam

On a peaceful old pond

Naked as the day she was born

And the stars were the dress she put on

And I know it sounds silly

But that night

She secretly hoped

That someone would see her

And her wish came true

The night she met you

She was laughing, with her hair wet in the wind

And she confessed that she feared to let anyone near

But that night by the water, something happened

Something that ignited

Her lonely heart

And summer leaned closer to hear each sigh

As moonlight reflected off the water

While it rippled by

And in the moonlight

She shone

Like a mist on a still pond

Barefoot where the cattails grew

With the whole night wrapped around her

And she said

"Darling

It's just a fleeting moment"

From the first moment

We're on our way to the end

And they can't stop falling...

(can't stop falling...)

(falling...)

Now the years flow like a river wild

And she still can't say just how it happened, but she knows

Somewhere between the stars and the water and the sky

Her lonely heart found a place in you

So in the moonlight

They dance

By that old pond

Two lonely hearts in the soft night glow

With a love that the dark couldn't drown

And she said

"Darling

It's just a fleeting moment"

From the first moment

We're on our way to the end

And they can't stop falling...

(can't stop falling...)

(falling...)

Like autumn leaves

And they can't stop falling...

(can't stop falling...)

(falling...)
