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
