[Verse 1 – intimate, spacious] Strolling along the river Two strangers meet Both a little jaded Still willing to believe The August air was clear The moon hung bright And the river A mirror to the light [Verse 2 – unhurried] We sat on a park bench Talking for hours Suspending disbelief That anything could go wrong We played our favorite songs Shared a dance Took a chance Under the moonlight That Chattanooga night [Chorus – warm, opening] Little did we know How much we both would grow Since you got off that plane We aren't the same We've changed In every way that's right Since that first Chattanooga night [Instrumental – piano, saxophone response - bring in unique elements from the original piano audio] [Bridge] Tonight we walk along the river You point to that park bench And I feel a little shiver Recalling our dance Giving love Another chance That first moonlit night [Chorus – fuller] Little did we know How much we both would grow Since you got off that plane We aren't the same We've changed In every way that's right Since that first Chattanooga night [Outro – piano and voice, freely] Little did we know That would be the first Of many Chattanooga nights
