Selena Gomez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up to your dreams
And watch them come true
I'll make you whisper my name
And never leave the room
Night and day, I'll be your muse
No other girl can make you feel the way I do

I can make the stars dance

Light up the moon
I can make the stars dance
If you want me to
The sky is everywhere
So meet me under there
I can make the stars dance, dance, dance for you, you, you

Don't be afraid
Close your eyes
Let me take you to places that you've never been tonight
I thought by know you'd realize
I can do anything I put my mind to, ooh

I can make the stars dance
Light up the moon
I can make the stars dance
If you want me to
The sky is everywhere
So meet me under there
I can make the stars dance, dance, dance for you, you, you

Everything I touch turns to love
Everything I do will open up heaven
Instead of us falling, we're flying in love
Nothing's forever because we are just stardust

I can make the stars dance
Light up the moon
I can make the stars dance
If you want me to
The sky is everywhere
So meet me under there
I can make the stars dance, dance, dance for you, you, you

I can make the stars dance
I can make the stars
I can make, I can make, I can make the
I can make the stars dance
The sky is everywhere

So meet me under there
I can make the stars dance, dance, dance for you, you, you
