Wishing on a Star

Rose Royce

I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means

I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people who really dream
And I'm wishing on tomorrow, praying it'll come
And I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever 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'd 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
And make the best of things, oh, baby
When we're together, whether or never

I feel it's time we should make up, baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
And make the best of things, oh, baby
When we're together, whether or never

I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people we've ever been
And I'm hopin' on all the days to come and days to go
And I'm hopin' on days of lovin' you so

I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a star, oh
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see

I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a star
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see

I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a star, oh, ah

Oh, baby, baby, I wish
I'm wishing on a star, oh
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a star, baby
To follow wherever you might be

    Well, I absolutely love this song! To me, it's about loving some one so much that you'd give anything to follow them, to be where they are, and spend all of your time with them. But, they don't reciprocate that love. Or, she did something wrong in the relationship, and now, her lover won't take her back, even though she's telling him how sorry she is, and trying to prove it by telling him that she'd give anything to be with him. Can any one tell me, did Tina Marie ever sing it? I have two different versions on my computer, and I'm trying to figure out which one is which. Lol. It's kinda difficult when every one and their brother does a remake of it.

    Rose's version is pretty old. Sounds original to me. I dunno.

    i love this song it came out in the late 1970's is written for a lost love that ask for them to make up and are in love with each other and through thick and thin they'll have each other no matter the distance
