Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Down by dat ol' bayou, where de moss hangs low,
Lil' MaryLou an' me, where dem wildflowers grow.
We wuz playin' in de evenin', as de sunlight start ta fade,
Our hearts beatin' fast, but nevah 'fraid.
[Verse 2]
I 'member de day dat we met,
Needed someone, you needed someone too.
Time spent takin' mo' dan ya gave,
Ya heart wuz a prize I knew I had ta pursue.
[Verse 3]
She had dem bright eyes, shinin' like dem stars,
We wuz sittin' close, not too far.
Whisperin' secrets, laughin' soft,
Feelin's deep, we didn’t show offen.
[Chorus]
Her lips wuz like a magic spell,
Wit' her, ma world wuz mo' dan well.
One kiss, unda dat moonlit view,
Changed ev'rythin'; now ma heart beats jus' fo' you.
[Bridge]
A lil' closa, breathin' soft an' slow,
Leanin' in, didn’t let her go.
Stole dat kiss, so pure an' true,
Unda dem stars, jus' me an' you.
[Verse 4]
You wuz wild, a spirit unowned,
Stayin' a moment, den leavin' moi on ma own.
But somethin' in moi wasn't like de rest,
Now, do ya see you wuz part o' ma quest?
[Bridge]
Drawn togetha by de shore,
Where de sounds o' night softly roar.
In MaryLou's arms, strength renewed,
She's where ma heart found its truth.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hello MaryLou, you're ma heart's delight,
Wit' you, ma world feels jus' right.
In yo' embrace, I found ma place,
Wit' you, MaryLou, ma heart takes its pace.
[Chorus]
Dat night wuz magical, dreams unfolded,
Young hearts darin', stories told.
In dat bayou hush, we found our way,
First love’s mem'ry, still bright as day.
[Pre-Outro]
First kiss, stole it sweet, unda dat moon's glow,
Lil' MaryLou, don’t ya know.
In dat moment, time stood still,
Down by de bayou.
[Outro]
Now when I think back, a smile comes ta ma face,
Dat first kiss, in dat special place.
Lil' MaryLou, our secret we keep,
Down by de bayou.
