Lyrics Why We Wish - Los Lobos

Why We Wish

That’s why we wish, baby
'Cause forever is way too long
That’s why we wish, baby, baby
'Cause it’s here today, then it’s gone
It’s when a boy grows up into a man
And a seed turns into a tree
It’s when two lovers kiss, forever it seems
And the blind man at last can see
That’s why we wish, baby
'Cause forever is way too long
That’s why we wish, baby
'Cause it’s here today and then it’s gone
How 'bout the girl that finds a dream come true
In the man that loves her so
Orphan cries forever it seems
Until at last he finds a home
That’s why we wish, baby
'Cause forever is way too long
That’s why we wish, baby, baby
'Cause it’s here today and then it’s gone
Once a poor poor soul found what looked like a stone
And held it up into the sun
Saw a diamond shining, forever it seemed
And his searchin', searchin' days were gone
That’s why we wish, baby
'Cause forever is way too long
That’s why we wish, baby, baby
'Cause it’s here today and then it’s gone
That’s why we wish, baby
That’s why we wish, baby, baby
