Verse:

There's a star for ev'ryone brightly shining in the sky,
It seems to be a part of your destiny;
Ev'ry night I eagerly watch them all go twinkling by,
But I can't seem to find the one the heavens assigned to me.

Female chorus:

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 dreamy,
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.

Male chorus:

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 dreamy,
And so if you can see me from afar, won't you kindly
Light my way, lead me to my lover,
Just point her 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.
