The Wishingbird Song (Lyrics)

1st Verse:

Once I saw

a wishingbird

just sitting in a tree.

 

“Wishingbird”, I asked,

“Please will you grant a wish for me?”.

 

2nd Verse:

 

The wishingbird replied,

“If you can catch me

then I will”.

 

And so I chased

that wishingbird

through field and over hill.

 

Chorus:

 

I wished for

love everlasting;

a love

bright as a rainbow;

a love

sprinkled with starlight.

Oh if only it would come true.

 

3rd Verse:

 

I never caught

that wishing bird

no matter how I tried.

 

It waved me goodbye

with its wing

and flew off out of sight.

 

4th Verse:

 

But the next day;

that’s when we met

and, suddenly, I knew

that old

magical wishingbird

had made my wish come true

 

Chorus:

 

I wished for

love everlasting;

a love

bright as a rainbow;

a love

sprinkled with starlight

and that is what I got from you.
