Perfect Love

Perfect Love - MARC COHN

Lyrics by：Marc Cohn

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

It was a perfect love

It was a perfect love

Ooh yeah yeah

Well they worked one summer together

At the '64 world's fair

They met Robert Kennedy there

Well that was right before the fall

They saved up a little money for his carreer

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 it's a small world after all

And it was perfect love

It was a perfect love

Under the moon and the stars above it was a perfect love

They were dizzy from dancing on Rockaway Beach

They came to Rockaway

Yeah and everything they dreamed of was still within reach

Dreaming 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 a misty rain

And only one thing remains the same wo-oh

Ooh yeah yeah

Just a perfect love

Under the moon and stars above it was a perfect love

Perfect love

Ooh yeah yeah

Ooh yeah yeah

Ooh yeah yeah

This is from dancing

Under the moon and the stars above it was a perfect love

Yeah

Under the moon and the stars above it was a perfect love

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
