Marc Cohn — Perfect Love

[Verse 1] Down by the boathouse at Shaker Lake When there wasn't nothing but love to make They were two young lovers wishing on the stars above Well, they carved their initials in an old birch tree With a heart and an arrow and a sixty-three You had to be blind not to see [Refrain] It was a perfect love It was a perfect love Ooh yeah yeah [Verse 2] Well, they worked one summer together at the '64 World's Fair They met Robert Kennedy there Well, that was right before the fall And they saved up a little money for his career And they talked about the future underneath the giant sphere And all around them the little voices were singing "It's a small world after all" Yes it is—small world after all And it was— Perfect love It was a perfect love (Under the moon and the stars above) Ooh yeah yeah (It was a perfect love) [Bridge] Now they were dizzy from dancing on Rockaway Beach They came to Rockaway Yeah and everything they dreamed of was still within reach Dreaming... [Verse 3] Dreaming as the years roll by (Like they always do) Well, they had their share of hard times too But whatever they were They never let it get them down Now, they just go walking down a country lane See the leaves are changing in the misty rain And only one thing remains the same— Whoa, ooh yeah yeah [Refrain] Just the perfect love Under the moon and the stars above (Ooh yeah yeah) It was a perfect love (Keep talking 'bout) the perfect love Perfect love Oh, yeah, yeah (People keep talking) [Outro] Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah (People keep talking 'bout the perfect love) Dizzy from dancing Under the moon and the stars above It was a (People keep talking) perfect love Yeah, well well well well well well Under the moon and the stars above (People keep talking) (People keep talking 'bout the perfect love) Yeah yeah yeah yeah (People keep talking) Oh yeah
