Shows a normal high school hall as the song fades in, traveling slowly down the middle of the hall, passing numerous students.. The camera "finds" a certain girl, she has on blue jeans and a black t-shirt.. with long straight brown hair.. she is sorting through stuff in her locker, the crowd of people behind her is just a big blur.. the singing starts "By Starlight.." and then camera shifts blurs, so now the girl is blurry and it pinpoints a guy, wearing dark blue jeans, a purple T-shirt and short brown hair and glasses, carrying two books,who is stopped, looking right at her.. He cautiously walks up, bolds himself, and lightly taps her on the shoulder. In doing so, this surprises her and she jumps, caught off guard, sending his books flying to ground. They look at each other astonished and at the same time, bend down to pick the books up. They both stand back up as the guy resorts them, attempting a half nervous laugh to show it was fine, and she blushes.. Quickly he recomposes himself and asks her on a date. She, smiling, says yes and they exchange phone numbers.. Camera cuts to inside of a house, looking straight at the front door, the girl, now redressed into lighter jeans and a white shirt, comes up and opens the door briskly, and the guy is standing there, in the same jeans and a lighter purple shirt.. She steps out the door and they walk towards his car.. Camera cuts to them, sitting next to eachother in the movie theater watching contently.. The guy gets daring and offers to hold her hand with a smile, she happily complies by holding it..The guy, sighes relief and holding her hand now, enjoys the movie.. The final camera cut, which is now nearing the end of the song.. shows them parked in a park, sitting on a blanket, next to his car, under a clear starry nite.. They are laughing and cuddling.. having a good time.. the song is about 10 seconds from the end.. they lean in.. and have their first kiss.. as the camera looms up to the stars and the songs ends.. hence "By Starlight, I'll kiss you.." ;)

The intro music shows a girl--drop-dead gorgeous, silky brown hair, filled out ^-^, graceful, sweet, and all the rest--walking down a shady street to her house...

"By starlight, I'll kiss you, and promise to be your one and only..."
Cut to her face, a little sigh and she looks away from the camera.

"I'll make you feel happy and leave you to be lost in mine"
Cut to a flashback, a fight with an ex-boyfriend, he treats her like everything she's not...

"Where will we go? what will we do? Soon, said I, we'll know"
Cut to a boy walking behind her, his face brightens as he sees her.

"And are you just like me? Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me?"
He runs to catch up to her and they start talking. She's p-o'ed, and blows him off, but he keeps walking beside her.

"Her eyes, her eyes are as vacant as the seas..."
He looks over at her, she glances at him from the corner of her eye and tries to hide a smile.

"Dead eyes, dead eyes are you just like me? ...etc."
Cut to his flashback, the two of them playing as kids, him standing up for her when she's getting teased, her giving him a little kiddy hug (super cute!)

"By starlight, I love you, lovely as a wish granted true..."
Now, they're in her bedroom, the stars are outside, and she's telling him about the fight (fight-fight motions, yelling), and ends up sitting on the bed crying.

"My life has been empty, my life has been untrue"
He mouths these words to her and her face changes to shock. O.O ?!

"And does she really know who I really am...does she really know me..."
He walks to her and puts his hand on her shoulder.

"At last..."
She looks up at him, still not believing it, and stands.

"And are you just like me? Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me..."
She pushes his hand off her shoulder.

"Her eyes, her eyes are as vacant as the sea..." Nice vacant look, awkward pause.

"Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me..."
She grabs him and kisses him full on the mouth. Now he's confused!

As the song fades out, the two somberly look at each other, then burst out laughing, more nervous than anything. He grabs his coat and gets ready to leave, and she meets him at the door. She holds out her hand and he takes it for a second before leaving.
