One summer night
We ran away for a while
Laughing, we hurried beneath the sky
To an obscure place to hide
That no one could find
And we drifted to another state of mind
And imagined I was yours and you were mine
As we lay upon the grass there in the dark
Underneath the stars (Young love)
Underneath the stars (Young love)
Weak in the knees
Wrapped in the warm gentle breeze
And I…
So shy, a bundle of butterflies
Flush with the heat of desire
On a natural high
As we drifted to another place in time
And the feeling was so heady and sublime
As I lost my heart to you there in the dark
Underneath the stars (Young love)
Oh… (Young love)
Oh beautiful and bittersweetly
You were fading into me
And I was gently fading into you (Fade, fade, fading)
But the time went sailing by (Ooh yeah)
Reluctantly we said good-bye (Ooh yeah)
And left our secret place so far behind
And I lay in bed all night and I was
Drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting
As we drifted to another place in time
And imagined I was yours and you were my own (Ooh, and I was yours)
(My own baby)
As we lay upon the grass there in the dark (As we lay, as we…)
Lay underneath the stars (Young love)
Underneath the stars (Young love)
Underneath the stars (Young love)
Underneath the stars (Young love)
Underneath the stars (I was drifting, drifting, drifting)
Underneath the stars (Young love)
As we…
Lay underneath the stars
