I guess I must be wishing on
Someone else's star
It 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.
It kind of hit home as I look around me and see so many pregnant women and want that more than anything in the world and sometimes it does seem that I am "wishing on someone else's star." As a child I used to look up at the stars and say "star light star bright first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight." Back then I had high hopes that making those wishes they would come true, like making a wish on your birthday and blowing out the candles. If only life were that easy!
I used a lot of the original song, but added some of my own words. My version goes like this:
Alone again tonight without a baby 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 baby I’m dreaming of and missing in my life
You’d think that I could have a baby of my own
It happens all the time to people that I know
Their wishes all come true so I’ve got to believe
There’s still a baby out there who is meant for only me
(chorus)
I guess I must be wishing on someone else’s star
It 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
But I can’t give my heart one good reason why
Everywhere I look its babies that I see
It seems like everyone has kids everywhere but me
I guess I must be wishing on someone else’s star
It 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
