Joys that come to others
Seldom come to me
But if I only were Aladdin
How different things would be
Every time I wish
I wish I had you
Every time I dream
The dream is for two
You're the part within my heart
That beats all day
Seems to say, "I love you"

Everywhere I go
You're all that I see
Wonder if you know
What you mean to me
Wishes would be grand
If only they came true
For every time I wish
I wish I had you
