The moon is shining over the river tonight
Millions of stars shining so bright
There's a peaceful calm that holds us tight
as we sit by this fire on a St. Lawrence night

The sounds of laughter comforts the minds
Now brought together after too long of time
Back together where we all got our start
Back together in this place that holds our hearts

There's nothing like a St. Lawrence night
Smiles glowing around the campfire light
Something about it just feels so right
On this river on a night like tonight

In the morning with the sun on the rise
When we clear the sleep from our eyes
We'll enjoy the river under the golden sunlight
that brings us back to another St. Lawrence night

The moon shines over the river tonight
Millions of stars shining so bright
A peaceful calm that holds us so tight
as we sit by this fire on a St. Lawrence night

As the moon shines over the trees
As we sit her in this warm summer breeze
Smiling faces glowing in the smokey light
On this glorious St. Lawrence night

We'll raise a glass and give a cheer
Give thanks to our parents that placed us here
We'll pass it down to the ones we love
We give thanks to the Lord above

It's a night like this that we all live for
We couldn't ask for anything more
The moon and the stars over the river tonight
as we sit by this fire on a St. Lawrence night

The moon shines over the river tonight
Millions of stars shining so bright
A peaceful calm that holds our lives so tight
Together again on this St. Lawrence night
