Star Light, Star Bright |
Lyrics and Music ©2026 by Bill Roper |
It is good that I-65 is good for something. Well, other than being miles and miles of road between me and the place I'm trying to get to.
In this case, an empty (other than me) car and the radio turned down seems to be a good place to write a song. I put this set of lyrics and tune together between Lafayette and Gary, typed them into the phone at that final gas stop, and chord checked everything together today.
I am reasonably convinced that it is a song and that I like it. :)
The chorus will, I am sure, be familiar to almost everyone.

(Chorus)
G C/G G
Star light, star bright,
C/G G D
First star that I see tonight,
C/G G
I wish I may and I wish I might
C/G G D G
Have the wish I’m wishing here tonight.
D C/G G
All the planets have gone to hide
C/G G
Round the sun on the other side.
D C/G G
And even Luna has gone away
C/G G D
So all the stars can come out and play.
I wish that I had a place to stand
With someone waiting to hold my hand
And if my wishes should all come true,
The one who’s standing there is you.
(Bridge)
Am7/G Em7
All the wishes that might be ours
C/G G
Are falling down on the light of stars.
Am7/G Em7
Wish together or wish apart,
C/G D
But all our wishes come from the heart.
Lying down, we can count the stars
And all the wishes that might be ours.
One thing that I know is true:
That all my wishes depend on you.
(Chorus twice)
C/G G D G
Have the wish I’m wishing here tonight.
