Wishing On A Star
Irene Grandi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people who really dream
And I'm wishing on tomorrow, praying it'll comes
And I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever done
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'd spent
I just can't let you go, for me you were meant
And I didn't mean to hurt you, but I know
That in the game of love you reap what you sow
I feel it's time we should 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 feel it's time we should 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
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people we've ever been
And I'm hopin' on all the days to come and days to go
And I'm hopin' on all the love that you've ever know
Wishing on a star
To follow where you are
Wishing on a star
Oh…oh…oh…
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
Wishing on a star
To follow where you are
Wishing on a star
Oh...oh...oh...
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
Wishing on a star
In Wishing On a Star, Irene Grandi's lyrics express a deep longing for someone who is far away. She wishes on a star and a dream to follow them where they are and to understand what their love means. She wishes on rainbows and people who dream, on tomorrow and on all the love they have shared. The distance is painful, as she remembers all the moments they spent together, and realizes that they were meant for each other. She regrets hurting them, but acknowledges that in love, one reaps what they sow. She believes that it is time to make up and get back together, to make the best of things, whether or never. She wishes on a star again, and on rainbows to guide her back to her love.
