There in that moment as I took that big breath I had an inkling right before I blew Out all of those candles, I felt it might happen And the wish I was wishing would surely come true Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo It doesn't seem fair that we only get one wish We should get a couple, three or at least two A few for yourself and a wish for the whole world But we only have one wish with which to make do Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo When we were children we'd wish for more wishes Greedy, but practical we probably knew You nevеr stop dreaming, you live life by wishing Wishfully thinking is how you gеt through Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo And what do we wish for? Toys, fame or money Health, happiness, long life, a love that is true A puppy, a pony, some peace in the valley? All our desires are long overdue Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo We only have one day to wish, that's our birthday Candles on cake on a day we may rue I'd like to tell you what it was I wished for But you know if I told you, it wouldn't come true Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
