If Wishes Were Changes

If Wishes Were Changes - Nanci Griffith

I wish that you loved me the way that I love you

I wish I had Angels who sang in my dreams

If wishes were changes we'd all live in roses

And there wouldn't be children who cried in their sleep

And he wishes I loved him the way that I love you

If wishes were changes I'd dry all his tears

If wishes were changes I'd make him my anchor

And he'd be my Angel who sang through the years

So long to the blue days of wishing

If wishes were changes there'd be no goodbyes

So long to the heart I have given

'Cuz wishing won't bring back the love in your eyes

And I wished that I had your wings of desire

I wish I had seen you as I see you now

I wouldn't feel sorrow you've left here inside me

But wishing won't change right from wrong for you now

So long to the blue days of wishing

If wishes were changes there'd be no goodbyes

So long to the heart I have given

'Cuz wishing won't bring back the love in your eyes

I wish that you loved me the way that I love you

I wish I had Angels who sang in my dreams

If wishes were changes we'd all live in roses

And there wouldn't be children who cried in their sleep

If wishes were changes we'd all live in roses

And there wouldn't be children who cried in their sleep
