Perfect Love Lyrics - Marc Cohn - 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 '63 

You had to be blind not to see it was a perfect love 

It was a perfect love oh, 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 oh, 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, perfect love 

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

Under the moon and stars above it was a perfect love
