Lyrics:
Hanggang saan kaya
Hanggang kailan pa ba
Maghihintay ang puso kong
Nangungulila
Sana'y malaman mo
Ako'y naririto
Pakinggan mo't, sumasamo
Damdamin kong ito
Kailan makakamit
Langit na bituin
Kailan masisilayan
Ganda ng yong ningning
Sana'y iyong dinggin
Bulong ng damdamin
Sana'y makapiling
Sana'y mahalin
Sana'y makamit
Ang langit na bituin
Ba't ligaya'y di ganap
Gayong nasakin ng pangarap
Nalulungkot, hinahanap
Ang mga yakap
Kailan makakamit
Langit na bituin
Kailan masisilayan
Ganda ng yong ningning
Sana'y iyong dinggin
Bulong ng damdamin
Sana'y makapiling
Sana'y mahalin
Sana'y makamit
Ang langit na bituin
Nagkamali ako
Ng minsang iwan ka
Ngayo'y batid ko na
Ikaw lang palang
Hinahanap
Ang nag-iisang
Langit kong bituin
Sana'y iyong dinggin
Bulong ng damdamin
Sana'y makamit
Ang langit na
Ang langit kong...
Kailan makakamit
Langit na bituin
Kailan masisilayan
Ganda ng yong ningning
Sana'y iyong dinggin
Bulong ng damdamin
Sana'y makapiling
Sana'y mahalin
Sana'y makamit
Ang langit na bituin ....
