why we wish
That's why we wish, baby  Cause forever is way too long  That's why we wish, baby baby  Cause it's here today  And then it's gone   It's when a boy  Grows up into a man  And a seed turns into a tree  It's when two lovers kiss  Forever it seems  And the blind man at last can see   That's why we wish, baby  Cause forever is way too long  That's why we wish, baby  Cause it's here today  And then it's gone   How 'bout the girl  Who finds a dream come true  In a man that loves her so  And the orphan cries  Forever it seems  Until at last he finds a home   That's why we wish, baby  Cause forever is way too long  That's why we wish, baby baby  Cause it's here today  And then it's gone   Once a poor poor soul  Found what looked like a stone  And held up into the sun  Saw a diamond shining  Forever it seemed  And his searching, searching days were gone   That's why we wish, baby  Cause forever is way too long  That's why we wish, baby baby  Cause it's here today  And then it's gone  That's why we wish, baby  That's why we wish, baby baby
