LONG, LONG AGO, SOMEONE I KNOW 
HAD A LITTLE RED CANOE, 
IN IT ROOM FOR ONLY TWO, 
LOVE FOUND ITS START, THEN IN MY HEART 
AND LIKE A FLOWER GREW: 

DRIFTING WITH THE CURRENT DOWN A MOONLIT STREAM 
WHILE ABOVE THE HEAVENS IN THEIR GLORY GLEAM 
AND THE STARS ON HIGH, TWINKLE IN THE SKY 
SEEMING IN A PARADISE OF LOVE DIVINE 
DREAMING OF A PAIR OF EYES THAT LOOKED IN MINE 
BEAUTIFUL OHIO, IN DREAMS AGAIN I SEE 
VISIONS OF WHAT USED TO BE.
