Down by the river, he found me I was a little girl, he found me The trees were all in bloom around us soft leaves were hugging all of me when they found us

 

Started slow, kept it low so that I'd be the only one to know what he meant when he said...

 

You are the Loveliest Creature that I ever did see You are the Loveliest Creature that I ever did see I'll keep you with me, oh I'll keep you with me

 

The sun was sitting down beside us There was no one around to find us The water held my feet beneath me He put his hands up to my face and he held me

 

a touch of skin to begin how we'd learn to let each other in in his way, he would say

 

You are the loveliest creature that I ever did see You are the loveliest creature that I ever did see I'll keep you with me, oh I'll keep you with me

 

We came together, we came together under the blue, under the blue We came together, we came together under the blue, under the blue

 

You are the loveliest creature that I ever did see You are the loveliest creature that I ever did see
