Lyrics

We're on to a fine little song

We'd like to slow it down a little with a pretty song

I'd like to dedicate it to some very special people here this evening

Um, Karen and her family

Uh, a couple of people that came down, uh, to see the show

We're glad you came

If we have any birthdays, any anniversaries

Divorces, babies being born

Whatever the case it may be, maybe this song you'll find appropriate

Whatever it is, we'd like to send our love

All over the whole world, with the way the world is today

We need more love, we gotta spread more love around

This song pretty much sums up what I'm trying to say

Ooh

Ooh

Oh

I'm wishin' on a star

To follow where you are

I'm wishin' on a dream

To follow what it means

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see

And I wish for all the people who have dream

And I'm wishin' on tomorrow, praying it will come

And I wish on all the lovin' we have done

I never thought I'd see

A time when you would be

So far away from home

So far away from me

Just think of all the moments that we spent

I just can't let you go, for me you were meant

And I didn't mean to hurt you, but I know

That in the game of love, you reap what you sow

I feel it's time we should make up, baby

I feel it's time for us to get back together

Make the best of things, oh, baby, when we're together

You, whether or never

I feel it's time we should make up, babe

I feel it's time for us to, oh, get back

And make the best thing, oh, make it happen, oh

Whether or never

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, I'm wishin' on a star

To follow where you are

I'm wishin' on a dream

To follow what it means

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see

And I wish for all the people who have a dream

And I'm hopin' on all the days to come and days to go

And I'm hopin' on days of lovin' you, you so

Oh, wishin' on a star, a star

To follow you wherever

I'm wishin' on a star

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see

Wishin' on a star, no

To follow you, I wanna know where you are

I'm wishin' on a star, babe

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see

Wishin' on

I'm wishin', and I keep prayin'

No, I'll follow you

I'm gonna pray

I shall

Every day, I'm gonna keep on prayin'

I'm wishin' on a star

Uh-huh, baby (how 'bout it, ladies and gentlemen?)

(How 'bout it? Wish and listen) no

No, no (that's somethin' good)

Thank you

Whoo, Lord
