Gentry (origin Old French genterie, from gentil, "high-born, noble", from Latin gentilis, of the same gens or race) denotes "well-born and well-bred people" of high social class, especially in the past.Gentry, in its widest connotation, refers to people of good social position connected to landed estates (see manorialism), upper levels of the clergy, and "gentle" families of long descent who may never have obtained the official right to bear a coat of arms.
In England, the term often refers to the social class of the landed aristocracy or to the minor aristocracy (see landed gentry) whose income derives from their large landholdings. The idea of gentry in the continental sense of "noblesse" is extinct in common parlance in England, despite the efforts of enthusiasts to revive it. Persons who are closely related to peers are also more correctly described as gentry than as nobility, since the latter term, in the modern British Isles, is synonymous with "peer". However, this popular usage of 'nobility' omits the distinction between titled and untitled nobility. The titled nobility in Britain are the peers of the realm, whereas the untitled nobility comprise those here described as gentry. That the untitled nobility exists in the UK in a legal if not popular sense can be seen in the fact that British armigerous families who hold no title are represented together with those who hold titles through the College of Arms by the Commission and Association for Armigeous Families of Great Britain at CILANE.

The sun reflects on your face
Your eyes they sparkle like the clear blue sky.
The breeze is calling our name
You wrap your arms around my waist
I rest my head on your shoulder, you hold me till the world stops spinning
Whisper close, and as the sunset fades
This feeling that takes over me is like a sudden rush of Ecstasy
Like a summer night in Seattle
When you kiss me under the moonlight.
Let the raindrops fall all around us,
As I sail on the wake of your love.
In your arms I'm closest to heaven
When we're dancin' under the moonlight
And the stars keep glowing like candles
Like a summer night in Seattle.
And when the winter's begun
Our hearts stay warm as the sun
Just like the evergreens, our love doesn't fade,
It lasts forever.
Close my eyes, and as the snowflakes fall
The memories all rush back to me like a never-ending fantasy.
Like a summer night in Seattle
When you kiss me under the moonlight.
Let the raindrops fall all around us,
As I sail on the wake of your love.
In your arms I'm closest to heaven
When we're dancin' under the moonlight
And the stars keep glowing like candles
Like a summer night in Seattle.
This feeling that takes over me is like a sudden rush of Ecstasy
Like a summer night in Seattle
When you kiss me under the moonlight.
Let the raindrops fall all around us,
As I sail on the wake of your love.

When we're dancin' under the moonlight
And the stars keep glowing like candles
Like a summer night in Seattle.

When you kiss me under the moonlight.
