He left hidden night
And then run to sit on the fence
He had all those stars in the sky
Thinking about your favorite song
And dreaming of happiness
Her brown eyes shining
And his mother, looking out the window
Wanted a star for Will

He ran down the street with his bike
But his head was elsewhere
And always imagined paradise
He wrote his name on the old tree near his home
And his mother said 'a star for Will'
Oh, a star for Will

He had a guitar beside his bed
Where he played low notes
Trying not to wake his family
And by his bedroom window
He wanted a star
Yeah, a star for Will

He left hidden night
And then run to sit on the fence
He had all those stars in the sky
Thinking about your favorite song
And dreaming of happiness
Her brown eyes shining
And his mother, looking out the window
Wanted a star for Will
