Starlight
Sharon Cuneta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lookin' at the stars
I'm thinking of you baby
Wond'rin where you are
When I say goodnight
Turn out the light
I still lay awake
Holdin' me tight
Starlight, starbright
Wish I may, wish I might
Won't you make him love me too
Make him want to hold me too
(And promise me forever)
And wish upon a star
As I do
Wond'rin if I'll ever fell your kiss
In my dreams I see your smilin' face
Trace a finger 'round your lips
I hope and I pray
That maybe someday
You and I together
Will find our way
I'll never stop wishin' on that star
'Til my dreams come true
And I can hold you
And love you
Starlight, starbright

Late at night
In the evening hours, under the veil of the darkness
Lookin' at the stars
Gazing at the celestial objects in the sky
I'm thinking of you baby
My thoughts drift towards you, my love
Wond'rin where you are
Curious about your whereabouts and what you may be doing
When I say goodnight
At the moment of bidding adieu for the night
Turn out the light
Switching off the source of illumination
I still lay awake
Despite being in bed, not yet sleeping
Dreamin' of you
Having you as the subject of my subconscious thoughts
Holdin' me tight
Embracing me snugly and securely
Starlight, starbright
Interacting with the brightest objects of the night sky
Wish I may, wish I might
Expressing hopes and desires
Won't you make him love me too
Requesting help from the star for reciprocated feelings
Make him want to hold me too
Asking the star to assist in creating the urge to embrace also
(And promise me forever)
Making a pledge for long-lasting affection
And wish upon a star
Requesting divine intercession from the celestial entity
As I do
Reiterating the act of desiring and hoping
Wond'rin if I'll ever fell your kiss
Contemplating if the sensation of your lips against mine will ever be a reality
In my dreams I see your smilin' face
Having pleasant visions of your happy countenance when I am asleep
Trace a finger 'round your lips
Gently following the outline of your mouth with my fingers
I hope and I pray
I have a strong desire and wish
That maybe someday
Expressing the occurrence of a positive outcome
You and I together
The unification of our souls
Will find our way
Successfully discovering the path to our mutual happiness
I'll never stop wishin' on that star
Vowing to continue requesting for divine intervention
'Til my dreams come true
Until the desires of my heart become a reality
And I can hold you
When I am finally able to embrace you in my arms
And love you
When I am finally able to express my feelings of love towards you freely
