Shooting Star Lyrics

Looking for a shooting star
(Looking for a shooting star)
Looking for a shooting star
(Looking for a shooting star)

Desperation made me ask my friends
Where I was going wrong
They said don't you worry, just be patient
Someday love will come along

Here alone in my room
Gazing up at the shining moon
Praying for the shooting star
So I can wish a dream come true

Drinks and dinner dates and going back to his place
Is okay for now
Sure enough he calls to break it off
It wasn't working anyhow

So I'm looking for a new love
A lasting love affair with someone who cares
Shooting star
Let me wish love finds me here
Shooting star
Here alonе in my room
Gazing up at the shining moon
Praying for the shooting star
So I can wish a dream comе true

Tonight I'm looking for a shooting star
Tonight I'm looking for a shooting star
Tonight I'm looking for a shooting star
Tonight I'm looking for a shooting star
