Starlight

The lyrics describe a vivid night of dancing and adventure with Bobby, remembered as joyful and almost unreal. The mood moves from excitement about their youthful escapade to a more reflective message: he encourages the speaker to stop worrying about what cannot be changed and to imagine a larger, happier future. By the end, the night seems to stand for the freedom to dream, not only for romance.

“Made of starlight” suggests feeling bright, weightless, and extraordinary while dancing together; it is a metaphor, not a literal description. Being “dressed to the nines” means wearing very elegant clothes, which makes the party feel special. Their pretending to be a duchess and a prince adds playful fantasy to the memory. The image of skipping rocks on the ocean contrasts with his ambitious question about dreaming “impossible things”: ordinary actions accompany an invitation to think beyond practical limits.

The speaker’s excitement about marrying and having ten children may be sincere, but the phrase “he’s talking crazy” keeps the moment light and possibly fanciful. The song does not make clear whether this future plan is a firm promise or an imaginative flourish during a magical night. “Starlight” can therefore suggest both romantic wonder and a hopeful attitude toward life.
