Lyrics I Wish - Heather Headley

I Wish

I’d give you the moon, but you’d never know the warmth of the sunshine,
I’d give you the world, but actually what would that do.
I’d promise you wings to fly, but how would you ever learn to run,
So I wish you all you need, to be more than I can be.
This is what I wish for you.
I wish you rainy days, so you can know the beauty of a clear blue sky
I wish you falling leaves, so you’ll understand that seasons change.
Cause, if I gave you the mountains, would you learn to climb,
I pray you’ll always see;
the forest through the trees.
And this is what I wish for you,
And this is what I wish for you.
If I could I’d say the word and take your fears away,
And I’d stay right by your side and show the way you should take.
But this your life, this is your story, and we know this, go ahead and say,
I hope you live with no regrets.
I wish you ocean breeze, and rivers that can bring you everything you dream,
I wish that the air you breathe, is all that you’ll ever need.
And I wish you nights of love, and days of joy and shoulders when you cry,
And just enough helloes, to get you through, goodbye,
And this is what I wish for you.
I pray one day you’ll have a home, with arms stood open wide,
And you’ll have someone who loves you, always by your side,
And if you lose your will to try, I wish you wings to fly.
I wish you wings to fly.
I wish you everything you need.
And this is what I wish for you,
And this is what I wish for you.
