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

Weak in the knees
Wrapped in the warm gentle breeze
So shy, a bundle of butterflies

Flush with 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 in you
There in the dark

Underneath the stars
Young love

Beautiful and bittersweetly
You were fading into me
And I was gently fading into you

But the time went sailing by
Reluctantly we said good-bye
And left our secret place so far behind

And I lay in bed all night and I was
Drifting, drifting
And I was yours
And you were my own

My own baby
As we lay
As we lay underneath the stars
