Wish I could take the pain away
Yours and mine – just cast it astray
Bury the sorrow in holes so deep
Just take the sadness and put it to sleep
Wish I could bottle elation and bliss
Then pass it around at times such as this
Let us get drunk on joy and delight
Forget all our troubles and laugh through the night
Wish I could reach out and touch the sky, then borrow a star or two
One for you and one for me – to hold when we’re feeling blue
For everyone knows the power they have – the magic they carry inside
Unleashed by the children who wish upon stars and grownups with nothing to hide
Wish I could…
Steal more time
Stop the clock
Catch a star
Make you smile
Wish I could…
