About If Wishes Came True

"If Wishes Came True" is a song recorded by the freestyle/dance trio Sweet Sensation on their 1990 album Love Child. It was the biggest hit of their career and reached number one in the U. S. on September 1, 1990, replacing Mariah Carey's "Vision of Love." The album version of the song begins with strings and a flamenco guitar, then quickly picks up into a synthesizer line, a powerful electric guitar solo, and the vocal begins soon afterward. (The edited version omits the strings-and-guitar intro. ) Released during the power ballad craze that dominated the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the late 1980s and early 1990s, "If Wishes Came True" was a different musical direction for the girl group known primarily for their freestyle hits. Accordingly, the song also became Sweet Sensation's only entry on the Billboard Adult Contemporary singles chart, where it reached number eight. According to The Billboard Book of Number One Hits, the members of the group cried for days after learning that their song had hit number one. Billboard named the song #87 on their list of 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time.

All alone silence fills my room
But in a memory, I hear you calling me
Close my eyes and I'm there with you
Like it was yesterday, but then it fades away

Take me back, turn back the hands of time
When you kissed me in the warm September rain
Back before my heart was filled with pain
If only we could be in love that way agan

If wishes came true
Then all the dreams at night of love were real
I'd be holding you
If wishes cam true
Then I would be that someone always special in your heart
And we would still be lovers, not apart
If wishes came true

Now you're gone and I'm on my own
Feeling lost inside since you said good-bye
In my dreams I still feel your touch
Lying next to me, feeling ecstacy

Take me back, turn back the hands of time
When you kissed me in the warm September rain
Back before my heart was filled with pain
If only we could be in love that way again

If wishes came true
Then all the dreams at night of love were real
I'd be holding you
If wishes came true
Then I would be that someone always special in your heart
And we would still be lovers, not apart
If wishes came true

I love you madly
I need you badly
Give our love one more chance

Take me back, turn back the hands of time
When you kissed me in the warm September rain
Back before my heart was filled with pain
If only we could be in love that way again

If wishes came true
Then all the dreams at night of love were real
I'd be holding you
If wishes came true
Then I would be that someone always special in your heart
And we would still be lovers, not apart
If wishes came true
