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 place in time

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

I, so shy, a bundle of butterflies

Flushed with the heat of desire

On a natural high



As we drifted to another state of mind

And the feeling was so heady and sublime

As we lay upon the grass there in the dark

Underneath the stars, (ooh, woah)

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 goodbye

And we left our secret place so far behind

And we lay in bed all night and I was

Drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting
