Can you figure out what song this is? I have as much info as I can remember in my details.?

Question

It's from such a long time ago I'm having a ***** of a time remembering, but I'll try my best to give you as much detail as I possibly can.

1. The chorus has the lyrics "Starlight, starbright" and if you can imagine it, it sounds more like "staaaaaaaaar liiiiiight, staaaaaaaar briiiiiiiiight"

2. At the last briiiiiight the lead guitar does kind of a musical triplet strum.

3. It is a rock song.

4. On the same CD (It's a mix) It has The Verve's: Cup of Tea and Cake's The Distance.

5. The CD is yellow (I think)

6. The song's length is pretty short. But it's really really good and worth multiple listens (In my opinion of course.)

7. I THINK the song is the second or third track on this mix CD

This is all I can remember. I remember a few snippets from the song itself, but not the actual lyrics, just kind of the hum to it. Help me find the Artist and song name?
