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
There's still someone out there who
It meant for only me

Chorus:
I guess I must be wishin
On someone else's star
It seems like someone else
Keeps gettin' what I’m wishin for
Why can't I be as lucky as those other people are
I guess I must be wishin
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
It's lovers that I see
Seems like everyone's in love
With everyone but me



(chorus)

Why can't I be as lucky
As those other people are
Oh I guess I must be wishin
On someone else's star
