When You Wish Upon A Star (For Disney's Pinocchio)

101 Strings Orchestra · Other Songs - 101 Strings Orchestra

When a star is born

They possess a gift or two

One of them is this

They have the power to make a wish come true



When you wish upon a star

Makes no difference who you are

Anything your heart desires will come to you



If your heart is in your dream

No request is too extreme

When you wish upon a star

As dreamers do

Fate is kind



She brings to those who love

The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing



Like a bolt out of the blue

Fate steps in and sees you through

When you wish upon a star

Your dreams come true



When you wish upon a star

Makes no difference who you are

Anything your heart desires will come to you



If your heart is in your dream

No request is too extreme

When you wish upon a star

As dreamers do

Fate is kind



She brings to those who love

The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing

Like a bolt out of the blue

Fate steps in and sees you through

When you wish upon a star

Your dreams come true
