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, young love, young love)
Underneath the stars (young love, young love, young love)
Oh, oh, baby, yeah
Weak in the knees, wrapped in the warm, gentle breeze
And I, so shy, a bundle of butterflies
Flushed 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, young love, young love)
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, ah-ah-ah (young love, young love, young love)
Shoop-doop-doop, doo, doo, do-doo-ooh
Oh, beautiful and bittersweetly (bittersweetly, yeah)
You were fading into me (and I)
And I was gently fading into you (fadin', fadin', fadin')
But the time went sailing-by (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah)
Reluctantly, we said goodbye (ooh, yeah)
And left our secret place so far behind (whoa-oh, yeah, eh-yeah)
And I lay in bed all night, and I was drifting
And we drifted to another state of mind (drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting)
And imagined I was yours and you were mine (ooh, and I was yours, and you were my all)
(My all, baby) as we lay upon the grass, there, in the dark
(As we lay, as we) underneath the stars (young love, young love, young love)
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, whoa (young love, young love, young love)
Underneath the stars (young love, young love, young love)
Shoop-doop-doop, doo, doo
Shoop-doop-doop, doo, doo
Shoop-doop-doop, doo, doo
Oh, oh, whoa-oh, whoa, oh
Yeah, oh, and I was drifting, drifting, drifting
And I
Underneath the stars
Baby, baby
