If Wishes Were Changes Songtext

von Nanci Griffith

I wish that you loved me the way that I love you
I wish I had Angels who sang in my dreams
If wishes were changes, we'd all live in roses
And there wouldn't be children who cried in their sleep

And he wishes I loved him, the way that I love you
If wishes were changes, I'd dry all his tears
If wishes were changes, I'd make him my anchor
And he'd be my Angel who sang through the years

So long to the blue days of wishing
If wishes were changes there'd be no goodbyes
So long to the heart I have given
'Cuz wishing won't bring back the love in your eyes

And I wished that I had your wings of desire
I wish I had seen you as I see you now
I wouldn't feel sorrow, you've left here inside me
But wishing won't change right from wrong for you now

So long to the blue days of wishing
If wishes were changes there'd be no goodbyes
So long to the heart I have given
'Cuz wishing won't bring back the love in your eyes

I wish that you loved me the way that I love you
I wish I had Angels who sang in my dreams
If wishes were changes we'd all live in roses
And there wouldn't be children who cried in their sleep

If wishes were changes we'd all live in roses
And there wouldn't be children who cried in their sleep
