Wish Maker

Blew candles on my cake
when I was a youngster
Closed both eyes, made a wish
but just can’t remember
Dropped a dime in the well
a couple years later
Closed both eyes, made a wish
don’t even remember
Skimmed a rock on the pond
when I was much older
Shut my eyes, made a wish
this one I remember
I wished for my wife
her health was a stranger
But it wasn’t to be
that much I remember
Dreams and schemes
and hand-held machines
are words that lie on paper
But the hand you hold
the love that’s gold
helps the pain feel much safer
There’s no guarantees
from the wise oak trees
to prevent what’s coming later
Enjoying life here
each day of the year
seems to be the real wish maker
Skimmed a rock on the pond
just after I lost her
Closed my eyes, didn't wish
here’s what I remember
The life of love shared
was a journey together
Now I close both eyes
and always remember
Dreams and schemes
and hand-held machines
are words that lie on paper
But the hand you hold
the love that’s gold
helps the pain feel much safer
There’s no guarantees
from the wise oak trees
to prevent what’s coming later
Enjoying life here
each day of the year
seems to be the real wish maker
I always remember
I always remember
A life of love shared
is a journey together
