"Stars" by Maxfield Parrish
When Would That Be

I looked at the stars 
Shining brightly as they are 
Wishing they're not too far 
Then I looked at the Moon 
Wishing you'd be mine soon 

. . . But when would that be? 

I wish we could be with each other 
Where no one would dare bother 
But you seem so far 
Like a shining star. 
Reach for it 
And you'll never hold a bit 
Wishing I could keep it 

. . . But when would that be? 

I dreamed of you every night 
Wishing I could hold you tight 
But you seem to disappear 
Like a bubble that softly flies 
high up in the air. . . 

And when would that be 
My heart is thirsty, 
Dying for love that I hope would come 

. . . But when would that be?
