"Wishing on a Star" - Rose Royce
Don't get any ideas. This song isn't for you. It isn't for the other you either. As if either one of you is still paying any attention. Oh well...but for some reason today, my head was full of songs. And it sucks because I woke up in tears this morning and it almost seems too coincidental that this of all things is the one thing that stuck in my head like gum on the bottom of my shoe.
I can't tell you where it came from. It wasn't in my dream. This much I know. I didn't hear it on the radio and it's not on any of my playlists or mixed CDs. Yet there I was, standing in the middle of the lobby area, setting up a training-on-the-fly, and humming this tune. I surprised myself, not to mention an early bird who noticed what I was humming.
She looked up from her computer, stared at me for a long minute and asked, "Girl, what you know bout that song?"
I giggled, a little embarrassed that she made out what I was humming and answered, "I don't know where that came from...that was weird."
"Mmmm-hmmm," she responded with a smirk.
"Pleeeease," I said. "It ain't even like that. It's just a song so don't even think what you're thinking," I continued.
I refocused my attention on the paperwork, stacking and stapling as I go and then proceeded to place a few testing supplies around the room.
She returned to her typing and then slowly started to hum the same tune.
She turned to me and winked.
I rolled my eyes with a smile.
She turned back to the computer screen and I began to sing.
Lyrics:
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people who really dream
And I'm wishing on tomorrow, praying it'll come
And I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever done
I never thought I'd see
A time when you would be
So far away from home
So far away from me
Just think of all the moments that we'd spent
I just can't let you go, for me you were meant
And I didn't mean to hurt you, but I know
That in the game of love you reap what you sow
I feel it's time we should make up, baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
And make the best of things, oh, baby
When we're together, whether or never
I feel it's time we should make up, baby
I feel it's time for us to get back together
And make the best of things, oh, baby
When we're together, whether or never
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream
To follow what it means
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people we've ever been
And I'm hopin' on all the days to come and days to go
And I'm hopin' on days of lovin' you so
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a star
Oh;oh;oh;
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a star
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I'm wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a star
oh, oh, ah, ah
I'm wishing on a star, oh,oh
To follow where you are
I'm wishing on a star, baby
To follow wherever you might be
Wishing in a star, oh, oh
To follow where you are, oh, oh, ah, ah
