It's dark on observatory hill
Come on, let's pretend we're Jack and Jill
We'll stroll to the hilltop where college sweethearts go
And look at the lights on the campus down below

We'll learn what astronomy is for
We'll learn what the stars can have in store
We'll know in advance the moon may mean romance
When it's dark on observatory hill

And I'd like to recite you a poem that I wrote
It tells why I think you're wonderful
Then from afar we can hear a sweet guitar
While voices are harmonizing

We don't have to know arithmetic
To figure why you and I would click
My heart tells me this: your lips were meant to kiss
When it's dark on observatory hill
