I wish I were younger
and I wish that I were stronger
Oh Lord, I wish…
I wish that I could understand the world,
that I could find a better way
(a whole better way…)
I wish I were taller
and even that my eyes were blue
Oh Lord, I wish…

But most of all, above it…
I wish that you were mine
So we wouldn’t have to be apart

I wish I were richer
and I wish that I could fly
Oh Lord, I wish…
I wish all my problems vanished
and all left was peace of mind
Oh Lord, I wish…

But most of all, above it…
I wish that you were mine
So we wouldn’t have to be apart
Most of all, beyond it…
I wish that you were mine
So we’d never, ever say goodbye…

I hope this feeling will die soon
‘Cause I can’t stand
watching the world from where I am…
spending my life in love with you…
