Wishful Thinking

Wishful thinking daydreams fly happy visions fill the night
Untold memories fade to blue while my heart aches just for you
While my heart aches just for you
Oh I would walk a thousand miles I'd swim the seven seas
I'd come to stars in the Milky Way or leaves upon the trees
To see the twinkle in your eye the devil in your smile
Hold your hand touch your lips for just a little while
Wishful thinking daydreams fly...
[ piano - guitar ]
Wishful thinking daydreams fly...
