And a strolling through the night trembling with romance
There he told me of my charms, how could I resist
Suddenly within his arms I ws held and kissed.
Oh that kiss in the dark was, to him, just a lark
But to me was a thrill supreme.
Just a kiss in the dark, but it kindled the spark
Just a kiss in the dark, but it kindled the spark
The awaking of love's young dream.

And a strolling through the night trembling with romance
We walked together at night, filled with anticipation and love.
There he told me of my charms, how could I resist
He complimented me, making it hard for me to resist him.
Suddenly within his arms I was held and kissed.
Suddenly, he held me in his arms and kissed me.
Oh that kiss in the dark was, to him, just a lark
To him, that kiss in the dark was just a playful joke.
But to me was a thrill supreme.
But to me, it was the most exciting and memorable experience.

Although it was just a kiss in the dark, it ignited the beginning of something special.
The awaking of love's young dream.
It was the start of a young, budding romance.
