You and I strolled in the moonlight On the swaying bridge over the river I got you last night On the river of strong emotions In the brightness of the moon There you and I were in seclusion Just the two of us Acompanied by the shadows the moon You told me you loved me It was love only to be found on your lips Tell the story The swaying bridge over the river |
