[Verse 1]
I wish I could have been there by your side
I wish a little more, I could have tried
And even if I only held your hand
I wish that I could make you understand
And if only for a little while
I could maybe see once more your smile
And if only I could chase away your fears
If only I could wipe away your tears

[Chorus]
But I've never known a wish had to come true
I guess they're not for the likes of me and you
But one day, you never know what just might
So I'll wish upon another star tonight

[Verse 2]
And I wish we didn't have to be apart
And I wish that we could have a brand-new start
And I wish I hadn't said those things to you
I wish you knew just how much I love you
And if only you would let me play my part
I could find a way to mend your broken heart
And don't you know my heart is broken too?
I wish that I could be right here with you
[Chorus]
But I've never known a wish had to come true
I guess they're not for the likes of me and you
But one day, you never know what just might
So I'll wish upon another star tonight
