lyrics

I dance at midnight
With a blanket of sky
They’ve asked - the stars want to see you
Asked me about you
Whispered secrets in my ear
Oh, the stars - the stars want to meet you

I gathered stardust
To sprinkle ‘round your room
Waltzed in while you were sleeping
I noticed you were dreaming
Come and dance - the stars want to see you

I do a jig
Ask the stars what they’d like
They wink - the stars want to see you
They’ve asked the moon
To be on her brightest bright
Oh you’ll shine - so brightly when they greet you

I gathered stardust
To sprinkle ‘round your room
Waltzed in while you were sleeping
I noticed you were dreaming
Come and dance - the stars want to see you

Ooh, the stars - the stars want to see you
Oh, the stars - the stars want to see you

So here’s some stardust
I sprinkled ‘round your room
Waltzed in while you were sleeping
I noticed you were dreaming, hey
Come and dance - the stars want to see you

I gathered stardust
To sprinkle ‘round your room
Waltzed in while you were sleeping
I noticed you were dreaming
Come and dance - the stars want to see you
Come and dance
The stars want to see you
