Waiting For A Star To Fall - Boy Meets Girl

1989. Sentosa. My JC orientation group was at Sentosa hanging about and having fun. Can't really remember what exactly we did, but do remember having lots of fun, laughing lots, with our OG leaders Alvin and Raj (think that was his name), Jennifer, Sean/Sunil, Gul - a super rich boy who's dad sells Persian carpets etc. Sean/Sunil trying to be a hero on his skateboard, skateboarded down a steep hill and in a blink of an eye, somersaulted into the air, the skateboard flew, he fell on his chest and chested his way down the hill. OUCH!

That was the day we heard Waiting for a Star to Fall play on radio many many times. If I hear the song, I remember that fun day out :)

Been listening to it at work when I need to pep meself up. It's upbeat tempo never fails to cheer me up.

Waiting for a Star to Fall
I hear your name whispered on the wind
It's a sound that makes me cry
I hear a song blow again and again
Through my mind and I don't know why
I wish I didn't feel so strong about you
Like happiness and love revolve around you

Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star
So many people love you baby
That must be what you are

Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms baby, yeah

I've learned to feel what I cannot see
But with you I lose that vision
I don't know how to dream your dream
So I'm all caught up in superstition
I want to reach out and pull you to me
Who says I should let a wild one go free

Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star
But I can't love you this much baby
And love you from this far

Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms baby, yeah

Waiting (however long...)
I don't like waiting (I'll wait for you...)
It's so hard waiting (don't be too long...)
Seems like waiting (makes me love you even more...)

Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms baby, yeah
