I Wish for You the World

I wish for you that perfect moment
when all the world is in your grasp.
I wish for you a sky that’s golden,
the things that I could never have.
I wish for you the faith to guide you
through all these good times and the bad.
I wish that I was there beside you
to dry your tears or make you laugh.
I wish that I could be there for the ride.
I hope some day you’ll think of me and smile.
I wish I’d had the guts to pull my feelings into words.
I wish for you the world.
I wish you glory, fame and fortune,
I wish you well with all it brings.
Wish I could go back to the start and
appreciate the little things.
I wish that life had turned out like I planned.
I wish that I could be a better man,
and even though I’ll never get to show you what I’m worth,
I wish for you the world.
Oh, I wish for you the world.
I wish for you the world.
I wish for you to know the secrets
of this old life and in the next.
I wish in spite of all that beat us,
I hope you know I did my best.
I hope to god, you’ll hold me in your heart.
I hope you know I loved you from the start.
Each passing day, I hope maybe that that I will get my turn.
And I wish for the world.
Oh, I wish for you the world.
I wish for you the world.
I wish for you the world.
