Let it be said I'm a rational man
And I live in the usual ways
But I dream mighty high for the shape that I'm in
And I always knew one of these days
The stakes in this game would be raised
I'm wishing for you I'm wishing for you
What else can I do but keep wishing for you
Gold ain't so precious diamonds don't shine
And a mountain top ain't so tall
Life's just a way passing some time
Love's just a place where you fall
And nothing else matters at all
I'm wishing for you I'm wishing for you
What else can I do but keep wishing for you
Well if my wishes were horses honey my horse could run
Faster and farther than most anyone's
If only you hadn't just up and gone
And left me here wishing for you

Now you may never know what I had on the line
But I hope if someday you do
You'll be held in some arms just as gentle as mine
With a love just as strong and true
That what I'm wishing for you

I'm wishing for you I'm wishing for you
What else can I do but keep wishing for you
