Album: Red
Chorus:
I said, "Oh my, what a marvelous tune.
It was the best night,
never would forget how we moved.
The whole place was dressed to the nines.
And we were dancing, dancing,
Like we're made of starlight.
Like we're made of starlight."
I met Bobby on the boardwalk,
summer of '45.
Picks me up late one night out the window
we were 17 and crazy, running wild, wild.
Can't remember what song it was playing
when we walked in.
The night we snucked into a yacht club party,
pretending to be a duchess and a prince.
Chorus:
And I said, "Oh my, what a marvelous tune.
It was the best night,
never would forget how we moved.
The whole place was dressed to the nines.
And we were dancing, dancing
Like we're made of starlight, starlight.
Like we're made of starlight, starlight."
He said, "Look at you,
worrying so much about things you can't change.
You'll spend your whole life singing the blues
if you keep thinking that way."
He was trying to skip rocks on the ocean,
saying to me,
"Don't you see that starlight, starlight?
Don't you dream impossible things?"
Chorus:
Like, "Oh my, what a marvelous tune.
It was the best night,
never would forget how we moved.
The whole place was dressed to the nines.
And we were dancing, dancing,
Like we're made of starlight, starlight.
Like we're made of starlight, starlight."
Ooohh, ooohh, he's talking crazy
Ooohh, ooohh, dancing with me.
Ooohh, ooohh, we could get married
have 10 kids and teach them how to dream.
Oh my, what a marvelous tune.
It was the best night,
never would forget how we moved.
The whole place was dressed to the nines.
And we were dancing, dancing
Like we're made of starlight, starlight.
Like we're made of starlight, starlight.
Like we're made of starlight, starlight.
Like we dream impossible dreams.
Like starlight, starlight
like we dream impossible dreams.
Don't you see that starlight, starlight?
Don't you dream impossible things?
