Perfect Love

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

Mmm, yeah, yeah

Well, they worked one summer together

At the '64 World's Fair

They met Robert Kennedy there

Well, it 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

(Under the moon and stars above)

Mmm, yeah, yeah

(It was a perfect love)

Mmm yeah, 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, no no

Now, they just go walking down the country lane

See the leaves changing in the misty rain

And only one thing remains the same

Whoa, mmm, yeah, yeah

Just a perfect love

(Under the moon and stars above)

Mmm, yeah, yeah

(It was the perfect love)

(They keep talkin' 'bout the perfect love)

Perfect love

Oh yeah, yeah (They can keep talkin')

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(They can keep talkin' 'bout the perfect love)

(Dizzy from dancing)

Under the moon and stars above

It was a perfect love (They can keep talkin')

Yeah

Well, well, well, well, well, well

Under the moon and stars above

(They can keep talkin')

(They can keep talkin' 'bout the perfect love)

(They can keep talkin')
