Underneath the Stars

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 bitter sweetly

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 drifting drifting

And I was yours

And you were my own

My own baby

As we lay

As we

Lay underneath the star (baby, baby)
