Lyrics
Wished For You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wished on a star "Send me down a lover
Don't want any other kind of love."
Wished on a star "Save my heart from sadness
Save my mind from madness from afar."
Used to sit and cry all day
Wonder why my love would fade.
Used to while away the hour
Cannot go on, cannot go on
Without you.
Now I don't do the things I used to do
Ever since the day I wished for you.
