When You Wish Upon A Star
Wishing on Stars: Unveiling Dreams and Fate with Louis Armstrong
Lyrics
When you wish upon a star
Expressing the act of making a wish on a star
Your dreams come true
Belief that dreams will be fulfilled when wishing upon a star
Wishes too
Acknowledging the power of wishes
When you wish upon a star
Reiteration of the theme of wishing upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Emphasizing that anyone, regardless of identity, can benefit from wishing upon a star
Anything your heart desires
Assurance that anything the heart desires can be attained through wishing
Will come to you
Reaffirmation that wishes will be granted
If your heart is in your dream
Encouragement to follow one's dreams
No request is too extreme
Assertion that no dream is too ambitious or extreme
When you wish upon a star
Recalling the act of wishing upon a star as dreamers do
As dreamers do
Highlighting the commonality among dreamers
Fate is kind
Noting that fate is benevolent
She brings to those who love
Describing fate bringing fulfillment to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing, oh
Describing the sweet satisfaction of fulfilling secret longings
Like a bolt out of the blue
Using a metaphor (bolt out of the blue) to express unexpected positive events
Fate steps in and sees you through
Attributing positive outcomes to fate intervening
Mama, when you wished upon a star
Reference to someone (Mama) experiencing the fulfillment of wishes
Your dreams come true
Reiteration that dreams come true when wishing upon a star
(When you wish upon a star)
Repetition and variation of earlier themes, emphasizing the universality of wish fulfillment
(Makes no difference who you are)
-(Anything your heart desires)
-(Will come to you)
-(If your heart is in your dream)
-(No request is too extreme)
-(When you wish upon a star)
-(As dreamers do)
-Fate is kind
-She brings to those who love
-The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing, yes
-Like a bolt out of the blue
-Fate steps in and sees you through, baby
-When you wish upon a star
-Your dreams come true
-When you wished upon a star
-Makes no difference who you are
-Your dreams, ah
-Come, bam-bam-oh yes
-True
