Kim Mitchell - Wishes Lyrics

Wishes

Some may wish for city streets ... jewels or silken gowns ...
Some may crave unbounded wealth ... fame or beauty's crowns ...
Some may long for sunny paths ... that lure the pleasures bent ...
Simpler things by far than these ... would keep my soul content ...

These are the things that i'll wish for ...
These are the things i'll wish for ...
These are the things that i wish for you and me ...

Give me god's green countryside ... with blue skies overhead ...
A tiny shack white curtained ... on my sill a flower red ...
A laughing baby playing ... inside on the floor ...
A tiny flower garden growing ... outside my open door ...

And these are the things that i wish for ...
These are the things i'll wish for ...
These are the things that i'll wish for you and me ...

A table set for suppertime ... fresh fruit and honeycomb ...
And a warm breeze that's whispering ... that your baby's coming home ...
Simple things with love and faith ... far from worldly strife ...
Grant me these before i die ... and i'll ask no more of life ...
Grant me these before i die ... and i'll ask no more of life ...

These are the things that i wish for ...
These are the things i'll wish for ...
These are the things that i wish for you and me ...

These are the things that i wish for ...
These are the things i'll wish for ...
These are the things that i wish for ...
For you and me ...
