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 drifting drifting and I was yours and you were my own my own baby 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 (young love) underneath the stars (young love) underneath the stars
