[Intro]
[Serene fingerpicked nylon-string guitar melody]

[Verse]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And summer leaned closer to hear each sigh
As moonlight reflected off the water
While it rippled by

[Chorus]
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...)

[Bridge]
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

[Final Chorus]
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...)

[Outro]
Like autumn leaves
And they can't stop falling...
(can't stop falling...)
(falling...)
