[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...)
