I hear your name whispered on the wind It's a sound that makes me cry I hear a song blow again and again Through my mind and I don't know why I wish I didn't feel so strong about you Like happiness and love revolve around you Trying to catch your heart Is like trying to catch a star So many people love you baby That must be what you are Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong, in my arms baby, yeah Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong, in my arms baby, yeah I've learn to feel what I cannot see But with you I lose that vision I don't know how to dream your dream So I'm all caught up in the superstition I want to reach out and pull you to me Who says I should let a wild one go free Trying to catch your heart Is like trying to catch a star But I can't love you this much baby And love you from this far Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong, in my arms baby, yeah Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong, in my arms baby, yeah Waiting, however long I don't like waiting, I'll wait for you It's so hard waiting, don't be too long Seems like waiting, makes me love you even more Waiting for a star to fall And carry your heart into my arms That's where you belong, in my arms baby, yeah

A canção foi inspirada por um meteoro que Shannon Rubicam e George Merrill viram durante um show da Whitney Houston, levando-os a compor a música imediatamente após o concerto.
Embora tenha sido escrita para Whitney Houston, a gravação foi recusada pelo CEO da Arista, Clive Davis, e a música acabou sendo lançada pelo próprio duo Boy Meets Girl.
A cantora Belinda Carlisle chegou a gravar um demo da faixa, mas decidiu que ela não seria incluída em seu álbum “Heaven on Earth” de 1987, permitindo que Rubicam e Merrill a registrassem.
Lançada em junho de 1988 como o primeiro single do álbum “Reel Life”, a canção alcançou o nº 5 na Billboard Hot 100 dos EUA, chegou ao topo das paradas canadenses e ficou entre os cinco primeiros no Irlandês e no britânico.
A popularidade duradoura da melodia gerou versões remixadas e regravações, como as dos grupos Cabin Crew e Sunset Strippers, que obtiveram sucesso simultâneo nas pistas de dança em 2005.
