You and I, under the moon of love, moon of love
One summer night, I kissed your lips
One summer night, I held you close
You and I, under the moon of love
And I knew this was love
And I as held you, oh so close
I knew no one could ever take your place, ohh
One summer night, we fell in love
One summer night, I held you tight
You and I, under the moon of love, (moon of love)

Summer of '58...my girlfriend Judi and I loved to dance to this song up on the roof of our tenement in NY. What music, what memories...I'd give anything to be able to go back to those days. Young love at it's sweetest.

I'm 76 and remember this song like it was yesterday. I too would give anything to go back to those days and live once-again in that era, even if just for one day.
