Lyrics
There’s a star for everyone
Brightly shining in the sky
It seems to be a part of your destiny
Every night I eagerly watch them
All go twinkling by
But I can’t seem to find
The one the heavens assigned to me
Refrain:
Friendly star, where can you be hiding
Smile for me from out of the lonely night
Friendly star, my fate needs deciding
How I need the glow of your guiding light
I know that you are near
For I am strangely dreamy
And so if you can see me from afar
Won’t you kindly light my way
Lead me to my lover, just point him out
And whisper, “There you are, there you are”
Then my love, you will be standing here
Close to me
In your eyes, I will see my friendly star
