Underneath The Stars Lyrics

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 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

And I was yours
And you were my own
My own baby
As we lay
As we
Lay underneath the stars
(Young love)

This is one of the few songs that I can actually visually picture and feel as she sings. Like I'm using all my senses. One of my favorite songs by her. I just love that its on a summer night and very sweet and pure.

I think it's about the perfect dream, all girls' perfect dream. Cuddling with your man and looking up at the stars. YAY

This is an OK song. It is kind of juvenile though. Nevertheless a good song.

perfect description of young love.

Cover art for Underneath The Stars lyrics by Mariah Carey

i think maybe my "young" love she means "innocent" love. all she wants is to be near the person....doesn't really know what love takes and what it consists of, but it's fresh and new and beautiful, yet as old as the stars.

Yes, it does bring the same feeling to me than her songs "The Roof" and "Fourth Of July"...they all make me feel like he's talking about something she cared a lot for, but still didn't last so much... And I can relate to all those feelings, discovering the embracing power of love for the first time...reminiscing it once you've grown up and you are apart...
