I Wish I Had a Wish Lyrics by Rusty Cage

Blues, Gospels, and Whathaveyous

2011

[Intro]
I wish I had a wish that I could wish away
I wish I had a wish that I could wish away
I wish I had a wish that I could wish away
I'd make my wish today

[Verse 1]
I wish I had a dollar so I could pay
I wish I had a dollar so I could pay
I wish I had a dollar so I could pay
I'd pay your way back home

[Chorus 1]
But I don't have a dollar, so I can't pay
And wishes don't come true
And I still can't forget the day
I said goodbye to you
But the sun still shines, and the rain still falls
And runs right out to sea
But when the moon is high
I want you here with me

[Verse 2]
I wish I had a Bible so I could pray
I wish I had a Bible so I could pray
I wish I had a Bible so I could pray
I'd pray I'd see you soon

[Chorus 2]
But I don't have a Bible, so I can't pray
To heaven up so high
And I don't think God would hear my prayer
Even if I try
But the sun still shines, and the rain still falls
And runs right out to sea
But when the moon is high
I want you here with me
