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

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

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 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
