The dawn is filled with dreams
So many dreams, which one is mine
One must be right for me.

Which dream of all the dreams
When there's a dream for every star
And there are oh, so many stars
So many stars.

The wind is filled with songs
So many songs, which one is mine
One must be right for me.

Which song of all the songs
When there's a song for every star
And there are oh, so many stars, so many stars.

Along the countless days, the endless nights
That I have searched, so many eyes
So many hearts, so many smiles.

Which one to choose, which way to go, how can I tell
How will I know, out of, oh
So many stars, so many stars.

The wind is filled with songs, so many songs
Which one is mine, one must be right for me
Which song of all the songs
When there's a song for every star
And there are, oh, so many stars, so many stars.

Along the countless days, the endless nights
That I have searched so many eyes
So many hearts, so many smiles.

Which one to choose, which way to go, how can I tell
How will I know, out of, oh, so many stars, so many stars...

So many stars...

So many stars...
