When I wish...I wish I might...
Kiss you tender lips tonight.
When I wish...I wish I wasn't so alone...
Just to hear your sweet voice, on the telephone.
When I wish...I wish for your smile...
I'd swim the ocean, to be near you, for awhile.
When I wish...I wish for peace...
Praying this war and hostilities cease.
When I wish...I wish I could see...
You and the grandchildren, walking with me.
When I wish...I wish I was home...
So tired, frustrated, in this desert I roam.
When I wish..I wish it was true...
That I was sitting at home, relaxing with you.
