[Verse 1] Do you remember The 21st night of September? Love was changin' the minds of pretenders While chasin' the clouds away Our hearts were ringin' In the key that our souls were singin' As we danced in the night, remember How the stars stole the night away, oh, yeah Hey, hey, hey

[Verse 3] The bell was ringin', oh, oh Our souls were singin' Do you remember never a cloudy day? Yow
