about

Friends are the best, but there are some days it can be hard to find a good friend. If you're having one of those days, I wrote this song for you.

lyrics

Fishing for stars
A. van Riel

I’m fishing for stars, fishing in the night
Sitting on the moon and all the stars shine bright
Fishing for wishes and wishing for a friend
Someone who can make me feel happy again

Is it you-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo—o
Tell me is it you
Is it you-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo—o
Tell me is it you

Too many times my head was in the clouds
I felt heavy in my heart and all the rain poured down
I’m not joking, I got soaking, went looking for a friend
Someone who could make me feel all warm and dry again

Is it you-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo—o
Tell me is it you
Is it you-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo—o
Tell me is it you

But stars always shone above me
And there are so many wishes up there that you can’t always see

So I picked up a ladder, hooked it on the moon
If I keep climbing this way I’m gonna get there soon
Sooner or later, I know it sounds bizarre
But I’ll be sitting on the moon and fishing for a star

And I’ll find you-o-o-o-o-oo-o
I’m gonna find you my friend
I’ll find you-o-o-o-o-oo-o
I’m gonna find you my friend
