Lazy yellow moon coming up tonight

Shining through the trees

Crickets are singing and lightning bugs

Are floating on the breeze

Baby, get ready



'Cross the field where the cerrk turns back

by the old stump road

I'm gonna take you to a special place

That nobody knows

Baby, get ready



You and me going fishin' in the dark

Lying on our backs and counting the stars

Where the cool grass grows

Down by the river in the full moonlight

We'll be falling in love in the middle of the night

Just moving slow

Spend the whole night through

Feels so good to be with you



Spring is almost over and the summer's coming 

The days are getting long

I've waited all winter for the time to be right

Just to take you along

Baby, get ready



And it don't matter if we sit forever

And the fish don't bite

We'll jump in the river and cool ourselves

From the heat of the night

Baby, get ready



You and me going fishin' in the dark

Lying on our backs and counting the stars

Where the cool grass grows

Down by the river in the full moonlight

We'll be falling in love in the middle of the night

Just moving slow

Spend the whole night through

Feels so good to be with you



You and me going fishin' in the dark

Lying on our backs and counting the stars

Where the cool grass grows

Down by the river in the full moonlight

We'll be falling in love in the middle of the night

Just moving slow

Spend the whole night through

Feels so good to be with you
