Tuesday Throwback: ‘Wishing On a Star” by The Cover Girls

(For your listening pleasure, this blog post contains streams of The Cover Girls’ Wishing On A Star. GannsDeen.com does not offer mp3’s for download.)

In 1992, freestyle girl group The Cover Girls released Wishing On A Star, a remake of an original by Rose Royce. Lifted off their third album, Here It Is, the Michelle Valentine-fronted Cover Girls took Wishing On A Star to #9, making it the group’s second Top 10 hit and first gold record. It was one of my favorite tracks of 1992.

WISHING ON A STAR
The Cover Girls

I’m wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I’m wishing on a dream
To follow what it means

I’m wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I’m wishing on a dream
To follow what it means

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people who really dream
And I’m wishing on tomorrow, praying it’ll come
And I’m wishing on all the lovin’ we’ve ever done

I never thought I’d see
A time when you would be
So far away from home
So far away from me

Just think of all the moments that we’d spent
I just can’t let you go, for me you were meant
And I didn’t mean to hurt you, but I know
That in the game of loving, we were just were so

I feel it’s time we should make up, baby
I feel it’s time for us to get back together
Make the best of things, oh, baby
When we’re together, whether or never

I feel it’s time we should make up, baby
I feel it’s time for us to get back together
Make the best of things, oh, baby
When we’re together, whether or never

I’m wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I’m wishing on a dream
To follow what it means

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people we’ve ever greeted
And I’m hopin’ on all the days to come and days to go
And I’m hopin’ on days of lovin’ you so

I’m wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I’m wishing on a star
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see

I’m wishing on a star
To follow where you are
I’m wishing on a star
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
