I once wished on a star When I was young, naive and playful But the star didn't come through I thought it was disgraceful, distateful I once dreamed me a dream A wild imagination But the truth couldn't stand up To cross examination, interrogation But oh, when you're lying beside me I swear that the angels guide me Where? I don't care, I just go And you do, do what you can Pass a little friendly conversation No great thoughts of man That's well beyond your station, your situation But oh, when you're lying beside me I swear that the angels guide me Where? I don't know, I just go And the dream's been wished on a star And the star's wandering 'round Heaven And you're here by my side We're angels at eleven
