wish upon a star

Do you ever
wish upon a star
not really wanting
it all to come true for you?
Neither do I.
I wish the same wish
every time an eyelash
gets caught on your cheek.
I think about the same thing
every time your lips
are pressed against mine.
Is this all really happening
or are we sent away by others
because we dream such things?
My dreams are no bigger than yours
and my wishes are not likely to come true.
Am I wasting my time
while waiting for your call?
Oh, how I long to hear your voice
just once before nightfall.
Oh, how I long to hear those words
before one million kisses in an afternoon
with you.
How can this be real?
It's happening all too soon.
I'm wishing on you tonight.
So, please, don't stay out of sight
for too long.
I'd like to hear that song
you've prepared for me.
Or have you already wished it away
to be played on some other day than today?
