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
