  • 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 out the window
    We were seventeen 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 tryna 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 'em how to dream

    (Huh-huh-huh)
    (Huh-huh-huh)
    (Huh-huh-huh)
    (Huh-huh-huh)

    "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 Writer/s: Taylor Alison Swift
