Come and look out through the window The big old moon is shinin' down Tell me now don't it remind you Of a blanket on the ground Remember back when love first found us We'd go slippin' out of town And we'd love beneath the moonlight On a blanket on the ground I'll get the blanket from the bedroom And we'll go walkin' once again To the spot down by the river Where our sweet love first began Just because we are married Don't mean we can't slip around So let's walk out through the moonlight And lay the blanket on the ground Oh, remember how excited We used to get when love was young That old moon was our best buddy We couldn't wait for night to come Now you know you still excite me I know you love me like I am Just once more I wish you love me On the blanket on the ground I'll get the blanket from the bedroom And we'll go walkin' once again To that spot down by the river Where our sweet love first began Just because we our married Don't mean we can't slip around So let's walk out through the moonlight And lay the blanket on the ground
