Wishing On A Star
Alice Fredenham Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm wishin' on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishin' on a dream
To follow where you'll be

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people who that have been
And I'm wishin' on tomorrow, when will it come?
And I'm wishin' on all the lovin' we've ever done

I'm wishin' on a star
To follow where you are
I never thought I'd see
A time when you would be
So far away from home
So far away from me

Just think of all the moments that we spent
I just can't let you go, from me you were meant
And I didn't mean to hurt you, and I know
That in the game of lovin', you reap what you sow

I feel it's time for us to make up, baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
And make the best of things, oh, baby, when we're together
Whether or never

I'm wishing on a star

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
And I wish on all the people we ever been
And I'm wishing on tommorow oh when will it comes
And I'm wishing on the loving we've ever done

I'm wishin' on a star
To follow where you are




I'm wishing on a dream
To follow where you've been
