She was a beauty you would die for
He was handsome as could be
And the moment that he saw her
He surrendered instantly
“Pardon me by lovely lady
Would you care to dance with me?”
And they swept around the dance floor
To a charming melody

Then he took her for a stroll
Beneath a thousand shining stars
And he told her all his life
That he had loved her from afar
And she shared with him a secret
She had always loved him too
And he smiled and whispered softly
And he said he always knew

Take my hand and never leave me
For my heart belongs to you
And for all the days to follow
I will promise that I do
Let the stars above bear witness
Till my time on Earth is through
That from now until forever
I will be in love with you

It was an evening to remember
Long ago and far away
And a memory to treasure
Of a love that came to stay
When two hearts were joined together
Underneath a thousand stars
I’ll remember it forever
For that memory is ours

You can take away the Moon
You can take away the stars
But you’ll never take the memory
Of that night under the stars
