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
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
