- M. Carey - W. Afanasieff - 

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 
(Young love) 
Oh baby 

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 to you 
There in the dark 
Underneath the stars 
(Young love) 
(Shum do do do) 

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 left our secret place so far behind 
And I lay in bed all night 
And I was drifting 
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) 
(Young love) 
Ohhhhh 
Underneath the stars 
(Shum do do do) 
Underneath the stars 
(Young love) 
Underneath the stars 
(Young love) 
Baby baby yeah
