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

And they saved up a little bit of money for his career,
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,
small world after all
And it was
perfect love

It was a perfect love
Ooh, yeah, yeah
(Under the moon and stars above it was a perfect love)

Now 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 changing in the misty rain
And only one thing remains the same, woah
Ooh, yeah, yeah

Just a perfect love
Ooh, yeah, yeah
(Under the moon and stars above it was a perfect love)

REPEAT AND FADE
