Wish Upon A Star was released on The Steve Miller Band's tenth album, Book Of Dreams, in the spring of 1977. I always loved this track and Wintertime the most....just amazing sound and unique effects/arrangements.

From Wikipedia: The songs on Book of Dreams were recorded at CBS Studios in San Francisco, California from leftover material recorded for Fly Like an Eagle, but not released on the album. The sessions were produced by the group's leader, Steve Miller, who had been producing the group's albums since Number 5 in 1970. John Palladino was the album's executive producer and the recording engineer was Mike Fusaro. The recordings were later mixed by Jim Gains with assistance from Win Kutz and were mastered by Ken Perry.

The illustration of a pegasus on the album's cover was created by Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse, who were credited as "Kelly and Mouse". The art director for the album was Roy Kohara. The cover illustration was reprinted on the record label on the vinyl version of the album.

Allmusic gave the album a rating of 4/5 stars, calling it "a highlight of the '70s classic rock era and one of Miller's finest releases." The review also comments that it's an unnecessary album for the casual fan to consider, as the compilation album Greatest Hits 1974--78 contains seven highlight tracks from Book of Dreams.

It's amazing that all the songs from both Fly Like An Eagle and Book Of Dreams were produced during the same sessions. There are definitely similarities in the production that can be heard across both records. These sessions produced some of the truly memorable rock of the decade.

As usual, HUGE THANKS to everyone who's art contributed to this new art! THANKS!!!!

Close your eyes
Rest your head
Let your spirits rise
Sleepy head
Rest your mind
It's been well fed
You can be what you want to

And it doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter where you are
If you wish upon a star
If you wish upon a star

And it doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter where you are
If you wish upon a star
If you wish upon a star

Close your eyes
Say goodnight
Hug your lover
Real tight
Let your dreams
Into your heart
Let your dreams take flight

And it doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter where you are
If you wish upon a star
If you wish upon a star

It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter where you are
If you wish upon a star
If you wish upon a star

It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter where you are
If you wish upon a star
If you wish upon a star
