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
