It's been such a long week

So much crying


I no longer see a future


I've been told when I get older

That I'll understand it all


But I'm not sure if I want to




Running into her arms


Who's at the school gates


She whispers that I'm a poor kid

And granny takes me on her knee


She tells me, I'm too sensitive


She makes me sad




She makes me feel like an old man


She makes me feel like an old man




They took the game right out of it


They took the game right out of it




When, when I am a man


I will be an astronaut

And find Peter Pan





Second star on the right

Straight on 'til morning


Second star on the right


Straight on 'til morning

Second star on the right


Straight on 'til morning




Dennis loves to look in the mirror


He tells me that he is beautiful


So I look too, and what do I see?

My eyes are full


But my face is empty




He's got a photo of his hero


He keeps it under his pillow

But I've got a pin-up


From a newspaper

Of Peter Pan




I found it in a locket

I hide it in my pocket




They took the game right out of it

They took the game right out of it




When, when I am a man

I will be an astronaut


And find Peter Pan



Second star on the right


Straight on 'til morning

Second star on the right

Straight on 'til morning

Second star on the right


Straight on 'til morning



When you wish upon a star


Makes no difference who you are

When you wish upon a star

Your dreams come true
