When You Wish Upon A Star by Jackie Evancho from Dream With Me

A new version of the classic song from the Disney movie "Pinocchio". The original was sang by Cliff Edwards in the character of Jiminy Cricket. (I'm sure you're trying remember the movie now)

Maybe you've heard a lot of other versions but this one is just so calming and relaxing and sincere coming from this very young and talented girl of 11 or so. Jackie Evancho flawlessly sings this classic with her operatic voice within that small body of hers. (I couldn't believe it when I first heard her sang Nessum Dorma.) I love also the instrumental in this song. It surely brings back memories of a childhood when I myself dreamed as I watch "Pinocchio".

Here's the song lyrics:

When you wish upon a star,
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.

(Musical break)

Like a boat out of the blue,
Fate steps in and sees you through.
When you wish upon a star,
Your dreams come true.
Your dreams... come true...
