Lyrics
WISHING
Words & Music c) Susan C. Haworth
V1
So I keep wishing for something that can't be
And I keep wishing you were here with me
Its just a dream something to believe in
V2
While I keep wishing
I'll keep the flame alive
Inside this heart light
Been burning much too bright
To ever know
That you've slipped away
Somewhere out of sight
I'm alright
I'll survive. this long and cold dark night someway someway
V3
While I keep wishing
Knowing we can't be
And I keep wishing
Something brings you back here where I see
That your doing fine break my heart again babe
Mid 8
Oh it would be so easy to be what you want me to be right now
There must be someway I can get to you
What am I gonna do
V3
While I keep wishing
Knowing we can't be
And I keep wishing
Something brings you back here where I see
That your doing fine break my heart again babe
But I don't mind,
I don't mind, I don't mind,I don't mind,I don't mind no no no no no
I don't mind
(Whisper) wishing
