(Music by Michael Abbott, Lyrics by Sarah Weeks)

Come out, moon
Come out, wishing star
Come out, come out
Wherever you are

I'm out here in the dark
All alone and wide awake
Come and find me

I'm empty and I'm cold
And my heart's about to break
Come and find me

I need you to come here and find me
'Cause without you I'm totally lost

I've hung a wish on ev'ry star
It hasn't done much good so far
I can only dream of you
Wherever you are

I'll hear you laugh
I'll see you smile
I'll be with you
Just for a while

But when the morning comes
And the sun begins to rise
I will lose you
Because it's just a dream
When I open up my eyes link to a non-NIEHS site

I will lose you

I used to believe in forever
But forever's too good to be true

I've hung a wish on ev'ry star
It hasn't done much good so far
I don't know what else to do
Except to try to dream of you
And wonder if you're dreaming too
Wherever you are
Wherever you are
