Wishin' on a Star

Is wishing on a star so silly
How often are they falling anyway
Saw one the other night in Montana
And I’m still thinking about it today
I was sitting on the banks of the Yellowstone River
Where I’d lay my head for the night
And I built myself a fire
Despite the wind’s ire
And listened for a lesson in the moonlight

I was sitting by my lonesome as far as I knew
Playing this guitar, the one that I always do
And then a star fell and my gratitude it swelled
And for a moment I felt like I’d been held
So I made a little wish, a little wish for you
I’d tell you but it wouldn’t come true
For if you see a star falling it’s just someone calling
Someone who could use a wish too

Maybe you were somewhere off dreaming too
Wishing there was someone alongside of you
And then a star fell and your gratitude it swelled
And for a moment you felt like you’d been held
So you make a little wish for someone you once knew
Someone who could use a dream come true
For if you see a star falling it’s just someone calling
Someone who could use a wish too
