I'm looking for info on a song from I'm guessing the 40's or 50's, and it may be called something like "the Unreachable Star". I heard it when I was at my grandparents house, and I absolutely love it! The man who sang it had one of the purest, most beautiful voices I've ever heard. The song is about trying to get to the woman he loves, whom he likens to an "unreachable star" Can anyone help me?

Jim Nabors, who played Gomer Pyle sang The Impossible Dream from "Don Quioxte". He sings it better than anyone else I've heard.

I think the song you are talking about is "Impossible Dream" by Luther Vandross. Here's the lyrics:
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
And to run where
the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
And to love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march,
march into hell
For that heavenly cause
And I know
If I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart
Will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be
better for this
That one man, scorned
and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last
ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable,
the unreachable,
The unreachable star
And I'll always dream
The impossible dream
Yes, and I'll reach
The unreachable star
