Wishes

*** 

Wish you could see me now

30 years bold and growing old

Been everywhere and in between

Any place ‘cept where you’d be.

Wish you could see me now

But could you see me then?

We were young, man, we were kids

Don’t understand that sins don’t end

Three years gone and growing strong

Built houses that I’d never dreamed of

Just more twirls round this wash’n machine

More chores to go, it never slows.

Wish you could see me now

Living life and I’m awful proud

Of who I am, who I bet you are

And who the hell we’re going to be.

Still wish you happy birthday

And happy new year too

Still calling you my best friend

And best man, too.

Wish you could see me now

But wishes are only dreams

You’ll never see

Been everywhere and in between

Any place ‘cept where you’d be.
