I was driving home from work one evening and saw a shooting star. All I could think about was this girl I'd been flirting with on the internet, so I threw up a wish. (She's now my wife!)

Lyrics
FALLING STAR
I saw a falling star last night
It was shinin' so bright
Lit up the cold February night
And as it glistened in the sky
I made a little-bitty wish
And I let the thing fly
FALLING STAR FALLING STAR
TAKE THE WISH I WISH WITH YOU
TO THE PLACE WHERE DREAMS AND FANTASIES AND WISHES ALL COME TRUE
IN THAT SOMEPLACE HIGH ABOVE
GRANT MY SECRET WISH FOR LOVE
THE KIND THAT EVERYONE DREAMS OF
FALLING STAR
The falling star whispered good-bye
As I watched it pass by
Streak through the South Carolina sky
Do you think that wishes on earth come true
You know I never really did
But I sure hope that they do
REPEAT CHORUS
IN THAT SOMEPLACE HIGH ABOVE
GRANT MY SECRET WISH FOR LOVE
THE KIND THAT EVERYONE DREAMS OF
FALLING STAR
