Upon a Shooting Star
©1999 DEBBIE Garibay

Intro:
Last night I made a great big wish upon a shooting star.
Way, way up in the sky so distant and so far.

Verse 1:
Life can be full of turns that we don't see;
Together forever is what we said we would be.
You are part of me and I still care;
Being without you is more than I can bare.

Chorus:
                                            (upon a star)             (way in the sky)
Last night I made a great big wish ^ upon a shooting star. ^
                        (so far away)              (last night I wished)
Way, way up in the sky ^ so distant and so far. ^
                                            (upon a star)          (my wish came true)
Last night I made a great big wish ^ upon a shooting star. ^
                                                                (here you are)
My wish came true 'cause when I open my eyes ^ I look and here you are.

Verse 2:
You are constantly on my mind;
A love like ours is rare and hard to find.
All my life I'll believe in you;
I'll keep on wanting - keep on loving you.

Chorus:
                                            (upon a star)             (way in the sky)
Last night I made a great big wish ^ upon a shooting star. ^
                        (so far away)              (last night I wished)
Way, way up in the sky ^ so distant and so far. ^
                                            (upon a star)          (my wish came true)
Last night I made a great big wish ^ upon a shooting star. ^
                                                                (here you are)
My wish came true 'cause when I open my eyes ^ I look and here you are.

Spoken over Chorus 2x:
You know...I save all the letters and cards that you send me and sometimes I take them out and read them.  There's this one special letter I keep right at the top - it's my favorite.  It reads: Dear Debbie, It isn't often that a special love like ours comes along - let alone one that blossoms like this.  You mean the world to me and I don't know what I'd do without you.  I want to make you happy.  You are my dream come true.  Your smile and approval make my heart soar to the clouds.  Your touch ignites passion from deep within me.  You care for me so tenderly and in ways I've never known.  Simply being with you gives me a wonderful sense of comfort.  Knowing you are there for me makes all the difference.  It is with you that I wish to spend my time and energy generating special moments.  I'm the luckiest guy in the world!  I love spending my days with you - whether we're taking a walk, dancing in front of the fire, or just watching TV.  I am fortunate you have found something in me that makes up for all that I am not.  You can count on me to always be by your side.  You make each of my days hold surprises and laughter - I never knew I could feel so alive!  I wake each day in anticipation of renewing our love.  You are beautiful - inside and out.  You are my treasure.  I look forward to countless days in love with each other.  -Yours now and forever-  Everytime I read it, it's like the first time I'm reading it.  I am so thankful to have you in my life and I want you to know that you will always...always be in my heart.
