she was kind of cool I was kind of not
so I put a lot of thought in trying to meeting her after dark
I said let's meet after school in the parking lot
and she said 'yeah ain't that cool'...
she's got a smile that is sweet and kind
the kind of smile that will blow your mind
makes me feel warm and good inside
mmhh she's so fine...
and now I'm going down the river
with Sweet Madeleine tonight
and now I'm going down the river
with Sweet Madeleine tonight
drifting down the creek with her
we saw fishes jumping in the moon lit stir
cause the paddle made the water curl
she's the best girl in the world...
it got late and time to go
so we drifted down towards our sweet little homes
and I'll never forget my favorite night with her
Madeleine...
and now I'm going down the river
with Sweet Madeleine tonight
and now I'm going down the river
with Sweet Madeleine tonight
if you try to hold on to how things used to be
you might miss something new
especially in love when you grow up and you see
fairytales they just ain't true
and now I'm going down the river
with Sweet Madeleine tonight
