Louis Armstrong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your dreams come true
Wishes too
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing, oh
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
Mama, when you wished upon a star
Your dreams come true
(When you wish upon a star)
(Makes no difference who you are)
(Anything your heart desires)
(Will come to you)
(If your heart is in your dream)
(No request is too extreme)
(When you wish upon a star)
(As dreamers do)
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing, yes
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through, baby
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
When you wished upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Your dreams, ah
Come, bam-bam-oh yes
