"When You Wish upon a Star" is a song written by Leigh Harline and Ned Washington for Walt Disney's 1940 adaptation of Pinocchio. The original version of the song was sung by Cliff Edwards in the character of Jiminy Cricket and is heard over the opening credits and again in the final scene of the film. The song has since become an icon of The Walt Disney Company.....

"When You Wish Upon a Star" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.....

The American Film Institute ranked "When You Wish Upon A Star" seventh in their 100 Greatest Songs in Film History, the highest ranked Disney animated film song, and also one of only four Disney animated film songs to appeared on the list, the others being "Some Day My Prince Will Come" from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs peaked at nineteenth, "Beauty and the Beast" from Beauty and the Beast peaked at #62, and "Hakuna Matata" from The Lion King, which peaked at #99.....

The song has – along with Mickey Mouse – become an icon of The Walt Disney Company.....

When You Wish Upon a Star
Music by Leigh Harline (26 Mar 1907 – 10 Dec 1969); Lyrics by Ned Washington (15 Aug 1901 – 20 Dec 1976)
for Walt Disney's (05 Dec 1901 – 15 Dec 1966) adaptation of Pinocchio, 1940

Originally sung by Cliff Edwards (14 June1895 – 17 July 1971) as Jiminy Cricket

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

Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing

Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
