Jag minns vårt första möte bänken där vi satt
Då alla stjärnor tändes i vår sommarnatt
Jag trodde jag var ensam om att känna det så här
När dina läppar når mitt öra och du viskar jag är kär

Sen har vi träffats varje dag och varje natt
Vi delar alla stunder både sorg och skratt
Men ingenting kan va för evigt, nån gång tar de slut

Men fram tills dess så ska vi njuta var sekund och var minut

Alla dina kyssar under månen
Får jag nu när stjärnorna ser på
När vi vandrar hem i sommarnatten
Är det dig jag tänker på
Alla dina kyssar under månen
Lovar kanske mera än du ger
Nu i sommarnatten när ingen ser oss
Vill jag ha mycket mer

Du betyder allt för mig idag
Ja, med dig känns allting bra
Oh, när du ser på mig och jag på dig
Så vill jag bara ha

Alla dina kyssar under månen
Får jag nu när stjärnorna ser på
När vi vandrar hem i sommarnatten
Är det dig jag tänker på
Alla dina kyssar under månen
Lovar kanske mera än du ger
Nu i sommarnatten när ingen ser oss
Vill jag ha mycket mer

När svåra stunder kommer

Vill jag minnas alla skratt
När vi satt på bänken
Tätt tillsammans

Alla dina kyssar under månen
Får jag nu när stjärnorna ser på
När vi vandrar hem i sommarnatten
Är det dig jag tänker på
Alla dina kyssar under månen
Lovar kanske mera än du ger
Nu i sommarnatten när ingen ser oss
Vill jag ha mycket mer

However, he also acknowledges that nothing lasts forever and that they should enjoy every second and every minute until the end comes. In spite of the awareness of the impermanence of things, the singer wants more than he has and declares his desire to be closer to his lover, to have more of her kisses under the moon.

Jag minns vårt första möte bänken där vi satt
I remember our first meeting on the bench where we sat

Då alla stjärnor tändes i vår sommarnatt
When all the stars lit up in our summer night

Jag trodde jag var ensam om att känna det så här
I thought I was the only one who felt this way

När dina läppar når mitt öra och du viskar jag är kär
When your lips reach my ear and you whisper 'I am in love'

Sen har vi träffats varje dag och varje natt
Since then we have met every day and every night

Vi delar alla stunder både sorg och skratt
We share all moments, both sorrow and laughter

Men ingenting kan va för evigt, nån gång tar de slut
But nothing can last forever, someday it will end

Men fram tills dess så ska vi njuta var sekund och var minut
But until then, we shall enjoy every second and every minute

Alla dina kyssar under månen
All your kisses under the moon

Får jag nu när stjärnorna ser på
I get them now when the stars are watching

När vi vandrar hem i sommarnatten
When we walk home in the summer night
