Starlight, Starbright, come out of the dark

Hear me wishing on it, Starlight, hear me crying at the moon
Oh, I’m wishing for you, Starbright (I’ll get ya)

Starlight, Starbright, come out of the dark
Starlight, Starbright, and into my heart

Every night hear me wish for you
Every night hear me call your name
Oh Starlight, its true (I’ll get ya)

Starlight, Starbright, come out of the dark
Starlight, Starbright, and into my heart

Starlight, Starbright, come out of the dark
Starlight, Starbright, and into my heart

Starlight, Starbright, come out of the dark
