Nanci Griffith - If Wishes Were Changes Lyrics

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

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
He'd be my Angel
Who sang through the years

[Chorus]
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

'Cause wishing won't bring back
The love in your eyes
I wish 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

[Chorus]

I wish that you loved me
The way that I love you
I wish I had Angels
Who sang in my dreams
