One Wish

There in that moment as I took that big breath

I had an inkling right before I blew

Out all of those candles I felt it might happen

And the wish I was wishing would surely come true

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Ooo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

It doesn't seem fair that we only get one wish

We should get a couple, three or at least two

A few for yourself and a wish for the whole world

But we only have one wish with which to make do

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Ooo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

When we were children we'd wish for more wishes

Greedy but practical we probably knew

You nevеr stop dreaming, you live life by wishing

Wishfully thinking is how you gеt through

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

And what do we wish for - toys, fame or money

Health, happiness, long life, a love that is true

A puppy, a pony, some peace in the valley;

All our desires are all overdue

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Ooo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

We only have one day to wish, that's our birthday

Candles on cake on a day we may rue

I'd like to tell you what it was I wished for

But you know if I told you it wouldn't come true

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
