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
