A song has been annoying me all day, and I cannot for the life of me remember the title. I’ve typed the lyrics in and it’s just coming up with another totally different song, or a nursery rhyme!
All I can remember was that it was in Cold Feet ages and ages ago when I first heard it. It sounds quite a melancholy, sad song. The chorus is ‘Star light, star bright, first star I’ve seen tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might....’! That’s all I can remember , and when I type it into google, Madonna’s Lucky Star comes up!

It was sung by a male voice. Perhaps the artist was the Brothers? If anyone can help me find this song I would be very grateful!

Any of these?

Nope, unfortunately none of them. It had quite a 60s vintage feel to it! I can remember the tune, I wish I could sing it and someone could identify !

The Blue Fairy in Pinocchio said those words didn't she?

I remember Winnie the Pooh saying it!

Yes it’s just coming up with Disney things / Madonna’s Lucky Star or the nursery rhyme. This is why I can’t find it, normally I type in the lyrics and you find out straight away. This time it’s proving more difficult 😂

Not the theme tune from the americaine “Tenth Kingdom”, a series from the 90s, which is not the same but there are lots of similar songs. Beautiful song I love and have always searched for an audio version.

AwdBovril · 19/01/2019 22:38

Old series or new series?

RebeccaL2 · 19/01/2019 22:38

if I can’t find it, I will begin rewatching Cold Feet to find it! I’m normally great at remembering things

Oh Cold Feet old series! It was in a segment with Adam and Rachel. I’ve tried sorting through track listings for the soundtrack, but no luck so far ☹️

If you can find the episode it was on you could Shazam it and find out what it's called.

Ooh we have that song on a children’s nighttime cd!

I definitely need to find the moment and Shazam it! They’re all available on Netflix now aren’t they? I know what I’ll be spending my Sunday doing !

No, unfortunately not that theme tune Harebell, although I also like that song !

If you know which series it was in, you could look on tunefind.com.

Don’t know why my other link went wrong. This is the poem

www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46976/star-light-star-bright

and it’s a lovely tune. Can’t find the book/cd we have though 😩

KosmoKramer · 19/01/2019 22:46

Those lyrics are from the Music Man...an old musical starring Robert Peston. It's a piano tune and the music teacher sings along to it.

wowfudge · 19/01/2019 22:46

Is it Starlight by Superman Lovers? Released in 2001.

RebeccaL2 · 19/01/2019 22:47

I’m going to hazard a guess and say it was the series where they were looking to adopt?! I’ll have a search tomorrow. Thank you for all your suggestions, I will find it somehow (I’m determined) !

Supermen Lovers!

GoGoGadgetGin · 19/01/2019 22:48

I could sing it... Do know the song you mean!

BollocksToBrexit · 19/01/2019 22:48
RebeccaL2 · 19/01/2019 22:49

No, not he Supermen Lovers unfortunately. I’m so the artist name was (something I can’t remember) and then Brothers! It was a very romantic but melancholy song. That’s why it has stuck with me
