Canoe

We were floating
Down the river
In your red canoe
You were laughing at my stories
Oh, back from my youth
And I remember thinking to myself
That you were the one
You were stunning your were lovely
And you were fun
And there was no one else I wanted to see
There was nothing else I wanted to do
There was nowhere else I wanted to be
Than floating down that stream with you
Or that one down by the west coast
In the dead of night
We were watching, watching cruise ships
Gently pass us by
And I remember gazing at your face
In the starry light
Thinking life don’t get much better
Than a night like tonight
And there was no one else I wanted to see
There was nothing else I wanted to do
There was nowhere else I wanted to be
Than sitting ocean side with you
Ya there’s nothing nowhere no one
There’s nothing nowhere no one
Oh, there’s nothing nowhere no one
Ya there’s nothing nowhere no one
That I’d rather be with
Than you my love
And there was no one else I wanted to see
There was nothing else I wanted to do
There was nowhere else I wanted to be
Than with my arms wrapped tight round you
