I said, "oh my, what a marvelous tune!" It was the best night Never would forget how he moved The whole place Was dressed to the nines And we were dancing, dancing Like we're made of starlight
I met Bobby on the boardwalk Summer of '45 Picked me up late one night Out the window we were seventeen And crazy, running wild wild Can't remember what song it 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 he 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 too 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 he 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 he 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?
