Wherever you see the stars, you lover is there, too. Go ahead and wish, but remember there are others, too.
Primarily Acoustic - Audience Participation a plus!
Sometimes it's a band; sometimes it's just me. It's best when the audience is part of the whole experience. Then all of us are "the band."
Story behind the song
A woman I loved kept pining away for the guy who dumped her. I was trying to remind her that there are people here who loved her without wanting to change her.
Lyrics
Baby, you've been hurtin', I know
I can still feel the tears
You've been crying for a very long time
And, sometimes, when you think of him
It starts all over again
Why keep trying?
It happens every time
But I know if you're looking at the stars tonight
That he'll be looking at the same stars above
And if you're wishin' on the first star you see
Well, maybe he'll decide to fall in love with you
Maybe he'll decide to fall in love...
"It doesn't really matter," you say
And you turn your face
But I know the reason:
You're running away...
You're saying, "Don't make the hope live again!"
"I could never stand the pain!"
"And it'd be hard then, to live another day..."
But I know if you're looking at the stars tonight
That he'll be looking at the same stars above
And if you're wishin' on the first star you see
Well, maybe he'll decide to fall in love with you
Maybe he'll decide to fall in love...
Well, maybe I know what it's like
To be hurt like you
'Cause, lately, I've been burning inside and out
And, sometimes, the pain's so bad that I have to scream and shout
And, sometimes the tears never go away...
Feels like I'm bleeding night and day...
Faerie Tales and childrens stories
That's the ending you're dreaming of
Well, babe, didn't they tell you
--Life is hard
Well, you can keep on dreamin'
But, here is my open heart
See, I've been wishin'
--On the very same stars...
And I know if you're looking at the stars tonight
That he'll be looking at the same stars above
Aw, don't go wishin' on the first star you see
'Cause, maybe, he'll decide to fall in love with you
And, I couldn't stand to see that love come true
'Cause I already fell in love with you
Yeh, in love with you
I already fell in love with you...
