I see thousands of twinkling stars in the midnight sky
Sure they are beautiful, up above the world so high
But I start to wonder what I am supposed to do

There are way too many stars here in my view
How do I know which one was the first to appear?
How do I know that wishing on stars will diminish my tears?

I see thousands of twinkling stars in the midnight sky
Sure they are wonderful, up above the world so high
But there are too many stars for me to wish upon
How can I decide on one before the coming of dawn?
Must I wish on every single star in just one night?
Will just one wish make everything turn out right?

I see thousands of twinkling stars in the midnight sky
There are too many stars up above the world so high
If I must I will wish on every single star I see
I will close my eyes and wish while I am on my knees
As long as I know that one day you will arrive
Then I will wish upon stars for as long as I am alive
