In this performance of the tune, ‘Cause I Love You, June sits in front of a black backdrop with shining stars on it. She wears a dark red jacket and a dress while she waits for Johnny to walk in.
He sits next to her and looks her in the eyes while he begins to sing. He wears a black suit with a white shirt. Halfway through the verse, June enters and sings. The couple continues to trade lead singing every few lines.
