When You Wish Upon A Star / Over The Rainbow

by Maureen McGovern

on Carmen Monarcha (2013), Academy Award Performance (1975)

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 dreams,
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

Somewhere over the rainbow,
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullabye

Somewhere over the rainbow,
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday, I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me

So, if your heart is in your dreams,
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star,
Your dreams come true
