Starlight
Dancing Through Dreams: Taylor Swift's Starlight Tale
Lyrics
I said, "Oh my, what a marvelous tune"
I express amazement at the wonderful music.
It was the best night, never would forget how we moved
Recalling a memorable night and the unforgettable way we danced.
The whole place
Referring to the entire venue or atmosphere.
Was dressed to the nines
Describing the elegant and stylish attire of everyone present.
And we were dancing, dancing
Engaging in lively dancing.
Like we're made of starlight
Comparing the dance and connection to the feeling of being made of starlight.
Like we're made of starlight
-I met Bobby on the boardwalk summer of '45
Recalling meeting Bobby in the summer of 1945 on the boardwalk.
Picked me up late one night out the window
Describing Bobby picking me up late at night.
We were seventeen and crazy running wild, wild
Reflecting on the carefree and wild nature of being seventeen.
Can't remember what song he was playing when we walked in
Unable to recall the specific song Bobby played.
The night we snuck into a yacht club party
Recounting a playful incident of pretending to be aristocrats at a yacht club party.
Pretending to be a duchess and a prince
