Lyrics

[Verse One]
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.

[Chorus]
Drifting with the current down a moonlit stream
While about 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.

[Verse Two: Voice One]
Drifting in the moonlight
While the Heavens gleam
Ah------ Ah------
Seeming deep in love
Dreaming of your eyes
Beautiful Ohio in my dreams used to be.

[Verse Two: Voice Two]
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.
