I wish that you loved me
the way that I love you
I wish I had Angels
who sang in my dreams
If wishes were changes
we'd all live in roses
and there wouldn't be children
who cried in their sleep

He wishes I loved him
the way that I love you
If wishes were changes
I'd dry all his tears
If wishes were changes
I'd make him my anchor
He'd be my Angel
who sang through the years

Chorus:
So long to the blue days of wishing
If wishes were changes
there'd be no goodbyes
So long to the heart I have given
Cuz wishing won't bring back
the love in your eyes

I wish that I had your
wings of desire
I wish I had seen you
as I see you now
I wouldn't feel sorrow
you've left here inside me
But, wishing won't change
right from wrong for you now

(Repeat chorus)

(Repeat first verse)
