WISHING ON A STAR

For my daughter

Starlight, star bright, if I could have my wish tonight
My Kristy would never leave my side
She would be here with me all of the time
I’d make everything in her world alright
If wishing upon a star could make it be
My Kristy would never face the world’s harsh reality
She would never know hurt, never experience pain
Her life would only know sunshine, never the rain
If wishing upon a star were as easy as it seems
My Kristy would follow her heart and capture her dreams
She would never know unhappiness or shed one single tear
Would never feel loneliness, would never know fear
If wishing upon a star could sweep me away
My Kristy in my arms would stay
For my heart is hers, and will always be
She’d filled my life eternally
So when I gaze into the night sky and wish upon a star
I know my Kristy and I will never stray far
It isn’t easy by any means
In my Kristy, I’ve captured all of my dreams
Search the night skies for a star to wish upon
Kristy, my darling daughter, know it’s not wrong
To express all you feel, to seek out a dream
You’re the stars in my eyes, the entire world to me
