Blanket On The Ground
Juanita Du Plessis · Other Songs - Juanita Du Plessis
That big old moon is shining 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 slipping out of town
And make love beneath the moonlight
On a blanket on the ground
[Chorus]
I'll get a blanket from the bedroom
And we'll go walking once again
To that spot down by the river
Where our sweet love first began
Just because we are married
Don't mean we can't sleep around
So let's walk down through the moonlight
And lay a blanket on the ground
Oh remember how excited
We use to get when love was young
That old moon was my 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'd love me
On a blanket on the ground
[Chorus]
I'll get a blanket from the bedroom
And we'll go walking once again
To that spot down by the river
Where our sweet love first began
Just because we are married
Don't mean we can't sleep around
So let's walk down through the moonlight
And lay a blanket on the ground
Mmm........
