  • I'm wishing on a star
    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
    To follow what it means

    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 come
    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 days of lovin' you so

    I'm wishing on a star
    To follow where you are
    I'm wishing on a star, oh
    And I wish on all the rainbows that I see

    I'm wishing on a star
    To follow where you are
    I'm wishing on a star
    And I wish on all the rainbows that I see

    I'm wishing on a star
    To follow where you are
    I'm wishing on a star, oh, ah

    Oh, baby, baby, I wish
    I'm wishing on a star, oh
    To follow where you are
    I'm wishing on a star, baby
    To follow wherever you might be Writer/s: Billie Rae Calvin
