There's a star for everyone,
Brightly shining in the sky,
It seems to be
Our destiny;
Every night I eagerly
Watch them all go twinkling by,
But I can't seem to find
The one the heavens assigned
To me!

Friendly star,
Where can you be hiding?
Smile for me from out of the lonely night.
friendly star,
My fate needs deciding,
How I need the glow of your guiding light!

I know that you are near,
For I am strangely dreaming,
And so if you can see me from afar;

Won't you kindly light my way,
Lead me to my lover;
Just point him out and whisper,
"There you are!
There you are!".

Then my love, you will be
Standing here close to me;
In your eyes I will see
My friendly star!
