Underneath The Stars

Mariah Carey · The Very Best Of Mariah Carey [2010]

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)



Weak in the knees

Wrapped in the warm, gentle breeze

So shy, a bundle of butterflies

Flush with the heat of desire

On a natural high



As we drifted to another place of time

And the feeling was so heady and sublime

As I lost my heart to you 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 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 imagined I was yours and you were my own, babe

As we lay sweetly upon the grass there in the dark

As we lay underneath the stars



I was drifting, drifting, drifting

Underneath the stars, baby, baby, yeah, yeah
