We strolled through fields all wet with rain And back along the lane again There in the sunshine In the sweet summertime The way that young lovers do I kissed you on the lips once more And we said goodbye at your front door In the night-time Yeah, that's the right time To feel the way that young lovers do Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that we were And the way that we wanted to be Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you And you were for me And then we danced the night away And turning to each other, say, 'I love you, I love you' The way that young lovers do Do, do, do, do... Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that we were and the way That we wanted to be Then we sat on our own star and dreamed of the way that I was for you And you were for me Ah, we long to dance the night away And turning to each other, say, 'I love you. Baby, I love you' The way that young lovers do, lovers do, lovers do Do, do, do, do...
