  • Alone again tonight
    Without someone to love
    The stars are shining bright
    So one more wish goes up
    Oh I wish I may, and I wish with all my might
    For the love I'm dreaming of
    And missing in my life

    You'd think that I could find
    A true love of my own
    It happens all the time to people that I know
    Their wishes all come true
    So I've got to believe
    That there's still someone out there who
    Is meant for only me

    I guess I must be wishing on someone else's star
    Seems like someone else
    Keeps getting what I'm wishing for
    Why can't I be as lucky as those other people are
    I guess I must be wishing on someone else's star

    I sit here in the dark
    And stare up at the sky
    And I can't give my heart
    One good reason why
    Everywhere I look
    It's lovers that I see
    Seems like everyone's in love
    With everyone but me

    I guess I must be wishing on someone else's star
    Seems like someone else
    Keeps getting what I'm wishing for
    Why can't I be as lucky as those other people are
    I guess I must be wishing on someone else's star

    Why can't I be as lucky as those other people are
    Oh I guess I must be wishing
    On someone else's star Writer/s: DONALD EWING II, JIM WEATHERLY
