Click To edit.

**When You Wish Upon a Star** is a classic song first heard in the 1940 Disney animated film *Pinocchio*. It was played as Jiminy Cricket's musical number early in the film and later as a reprise towards the end of the film.

The song became a trademark of Disney as a whole and is often heard during the logo section of other Disney films. It was also used in the 2022 live action remake of Pinocchio.

The song was originally performed by Cliff Edwards, who voiced Jiminy Cricket. In the live action remake it was performed by Cynthia Erivo, who portrays the Blue Fairy.

## 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

Like a bolt out of the blue,

Fate steps in and sees you through...

When you wish upon a star,

Your dreams... come... true!
