By Mariah Carey


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 to 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 stars
