Chorus:
       A             B
I said oh my what a marvelous tune
            G#m                      C#m
It was the best night never would forget
how we moved
      A               B
The whole place was dressed to the nines
             G#m            C#m
And we were dancing, dancing
                     A      B
Like we're made of starlight
                     A      B
Like we're made of starlight

A                                        B
I met Bobby on the boardwalk, summer of '45
A
Picked me up late one night out the window
        B
We were 17 and crazy running wild, wild
A                                                B
Can't remember what song it was playing when we walked in
                   A
The night we snuck into a yacht club party
               B
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 the 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

  A       B
 Ooh ooh he's talking crazy
  A      C#m           B
 Ooh ooh dancing with me
  A       B
 Ooh ooh we could get married
  A                          B
 Have ten kids and teach them how to dream

Chorus:
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?
