When the Stars Begin to Dance

[Verse 1] At 2 a.m., the world is asleep City lights fade, slipping into dreams Up in the sky, whispers begin— “It’s time,” say the stars with a gleam [Verse 2] Mars hops high in crimson boots Stepping light with fiery flair A comet glides with a subtle turn, Its tail sways through the air [Verse 3] Mercury races like a speeding light Zooming past in silver streaks Venus twirls in a glowing dress, Catching every eye she seeks [Chorus] Welcome to the Stardust Ball Where light and dreams begin to fall The moon plays soft piano notes And galaxies dance in graceful waltz [Verse 4] Jupiter sits, a grand old lord Gulps his drink and winks with charm In his glass, the stardust swirls, Swaying rings with drunken warmth [Verse 5] Saturn adjusts his ringed top hat Gazes at his mirrored ring Smiles and takes a silent step The stars around all join and sing [Chorus] Welcome to the Stardust Ball Spin and twirl through the cosmic hall Shooting stars applaud with light Let’s begin the dream tonight [Bridge] Tiny Earth keeps sleeping still Listening close, though unaware Yet deep inside, it always knows The sky is dancing everywhere [Final Chorus] Welcome to the Stardust Ball A fleeting moment before dawn’s call And somewhere high above the blue The stars will dance again for you
