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
Picked me up late one night at the window,
We were 17 and crazy, running wild, wild
Can't remember what song he was playing when we walked in
The night we snuck into a yacht club party
Pretending to be a duchess and a prince
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 the starlight, starlight?
Don't you dream impossible things?"
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
Ooh ooh he's talking crazy
Ooh ooh dancing with me
Ooh ooh we could get married
Have ten 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 the starlight, starlight?
Don't you dream impossible things?

Kubilang astaga, nada yang sungguh indah
Itu adalah malam terbaik, takkan terlupa bagaimana kita bergerak
Orang-orang di tempat ini berpakaian sempurna, dan kita berdansa, berdansa
Seolah kita tercipta dari kilau bintang
Seolah kita tercipta dari kilau bintang
Aku bertemu Bobby di boardwalk*, musim panas tahun '45
Dia menjemputku, di tengah malam di jendelaku
Umurnya 17, dan dia gila, berlarian liar
Aku tak ingat lagu apa yang sedang dimainkan
Di malam saat kita menyelinap di pesta kapal pesiar
Berpura-pura menjadi istri bangsawan dan pangeran
Kubilang astaga, nada yang sungguh indah
Itu adalah malam terbaik, takkan terlupa bagaimana kita bergerak
Orang-orang di tempat ini berpakaian sempurna, dan kita berdansa, berdansa
Seolah kita tercipta dari kilau bintang
Seolah kita tercipta dari kilau bintang
Dia bilang, lihat dirimu, khawatir berlebihan tentang sesuatu yang tak bisa kau ubah
Kau akan menjalani seumur hidupmu menyanyikan lagu blues bila kau terus berpikir seperti itu
Dia sedang melompat melewati bebatuan di pantai saat berkata padaku
Apa kau tak melihat kilau bintang?
Apa kau tak memimpikan hal-hal yang mustahil?
Kubilang astaga, nada yang sungguh indah
Itu adalah malam terbaik, takkan terlupa bagaimana kita bergerak
Orang-orang di tempat ini berpakaian sempurna, dan kita berdansa, berdansa
Seolah kita tercipta dari kilau bintang
Seolah kita tercipta dari kilau bintang
Ooooooooh dia bicara gila
Ooooooooh berdansa bersamaku
Ooooooooh kita bisa menikah
Punya sepuluh anak dan mengajari mereka cara bermimpi
Kubilang astaga, nada yang sungguh indah
Itu adalah malam terbaik, takkan terlupa bagaimana kita bergerak
Orang-orang di tempat ini berpakaian sempurna, dan kita berdansa, berdansa
Seolah kita tercipta dari kilau bintang
Seolah kita tercipta dari kilau bintang
Seperti kita memimpikan yang mustahil dimimpikan
Bagai kilau bintang
Seperti kita memimpikan yang mustahil dimimpikan
Apa tak melihat kilau bintang
Apa kau tak memimpikan yang mustahil dimimpikan
