Lyrics
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
Chorus
When you wish upon a star
Makes no diff’rence who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If you 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 thru
When you wish upon a star
Your dream comes true
Sung here by Vancha March:
