I wish I had a wish that I could wish away
I'd make my wish today
I wish I had a dollar so I could pay
I'd pay your way back home

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

I wish I had a bible so I could pray
I'd pray I'd see you soon

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 hear with me
