Lyrics:
Every night was long and gloomy, shadows gathered in the air No one ever listened to me, no one wondered did I care None in all the world to love me, none to count that stars that hung Then the moon came out above me and I saw that it was young I wished on the moon for something I never knew Wished on the moon for more than I ever knew A sweeter rose, a softer sky An April day that would not dance away I begged of a star to throw me a beam or two Wished on a star and asked for a dream or two I looked for ev'ry loveliness, it all came true I wished on the moon for you
I wished on the moon For something I never knew Wished on the moon For more than I ever knew A sweeter rose, a softer sky On April days that would not dance by I begged on the stars To throw me a beam or two Wished on the stars And asked for a dream or two I looked for every loveliness It all came true I wished on the moon for you
I wished on the moon For something I never knew Wished on the moon For more than I ever knew A sweeter rose, a softer sky On April days that would not dance by I begged on the stars To throw me a beam or two Wished on the stars And asked for a dream or two I looked for every loveliness It all came true I wished on the moon for you
Two, three, four Well, I came by your house the other day Your mother said you went away She said there was nothing that I could have done There was nothing nobody could say That me and you, we've known each other ever since we were sixteen I wished I would have known I wished I could have called you Just to say goodbye, Bobby Jean Now, you've hung with me when all the others Turned away, turned up their nose We liked the same music, we liked the same bands We liked the same clothes Yeah, we told each other that we were the wildest The wildest things we'd ever seen Now I wished you would have told me I wished I could have talked to you Just to say goodbye, Bobby Jean Now, we went walking in the rain Talking about the pain that from the world we hid Now there ain't nobody, nowhere, nohow Gonna ever understand me the way you did But maybe you'll be out there on that road somewhere Some bus or train that's traveling along In some motel room, there'll be a radio playing And you'll hear me sing this song Well, if you do, you'll know I'm thinking of you And all the miles in between And I'm just calling one last time Not to change your mind, but just to say I miss you, baby Good luck, goodbye, Bobby Jean
I wished on the moon, for something I never knew Wished on the moon, for more than I ever knew A sweeter rose, a softer sky, an April day That would not dance away I begged of the stars to throw me a beam or two Wished on the stars and asked for a dream or two I looked for every loveliness, it all came true I wished on the moon for you
And the sun is set. The sun will rise another day. I... I have wished for so long. How I wish for you today. I have wished for so long. How I wish for you today. Will I walk the long road?
Two, three, four Well, I came by your house the other day Your mother said you went away She said there was nothing that I could have done There was nothing nobody could say That me and you, we've known each other ever since we were sixteen I wished I would have known I wished I could have called you Just to say goodbye, Bobby Jean Now, you've hung with me when all the others Turned away, turned up their nose We liked the same music, we liked the same bands We liked the same clothes Yeah, we told each other that we were the wildest The wildest things we'd ever seen Now I wished you would have told me I wished I could have talked to you Just to say goodbye, Bobby Jean Now, we went walking in the rain Talking about the pain that from the world we hid Now there ain't nobody, nowhere, nohow Gonna ever understand me the way you did But maybe you'll be out there on that road somewhere Some bus or train that's traveling along In some motel room, there'll be a radio playing And you'll hear me sing this song Well, if you do, you'll know I'm thinking of you And all the miles in between And I'm just calling one last time Not to change your mind, but just to say I miss you, baby Good luck, goodbye, Bobby Jean
I wished on the moon For something I never knew Wished on the moon For more than I ever knew A sweeter rose, a softer sky On April days that would not dance by I begged on the stars To throw me a beam or two Wished on the stars And asked for a dream or two I looked for every loveliness It all came true I wished on the moon for you
And Marie's the name of his latest flame Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning I wished him luck and then he said goodbye He was gone, but still his words kept returning What else was there for me to do but cry?
The starngest thought came to me on this morning As I awake to greet the coming dawn The sun was hardly peaking through the garden It felt that with everything I was one Then I wished that I could come back as a flower As a flower As a flower How I wished that I could come back as a flower As a flower To spread the sweetness of love To spread the sweetness of love The dew had finished making love to many A rainbow smelling sweet was in the air I envied all the silence I saw growing So unmoved by things outside themselves Then how I wished that I could come back as a flower As a flower As a flower How I wished that I could come back as a flower As a flower To spread the sweetness of love How I wished that I could come back as a flower Oh as a flower As a flower How I wished that I could come back as a flower As a flower As a flower To spread the sweetness of love To spread the sweetness of love Wished that I could come back as a flower Flower Flower Wished that I could come back as a flower Flower Sweetness of love How I come back as a flower Flower Flower How I come back as a flower Flower Sweetness of love Sweetness of love
And Marie's the name of his latest flame Though I smiled the tears inside were a-burning I wished him luck and then he said goodbye He was gone but still his words kept returning What else was there for me to do but cry?
I wished I was smarter I wished I was stronger I wished I loved Jesus The way my wife does I wish it had been easier Instead of any longer I wished I could have stood Where you would have been proud That won't happen now That won't happen now There's a whole lot of singin' That's never gonna be heard Disappearing everyday Without so much as a word Somehow Think I broke the wings Off that little songbird She's never gonna fly To the top of the world Right now Top of the world I don't have to answer Any of these questions Don't have no God to Teach me no lessons I come home in the evening Sit in my chair One night they called me for supper But I never got up I stayed right there in my chair There's a whole lot of singin' That's never gonna be heard Disappearing everyday Without so much as a word Somehow Think I broke the wings Off that little songbird She's never gonna fly To the top of the world Right now I wished I'da known you Wished I'da shown you All of the things I Was on the inside I'd pretend to be sleeping When you come in in the morning To whisper goodbye Go to work in the rain I don't know why Don't know why 'Cause everyone's singin' We just want to be heard Disappearing everyday Without so much as a word Somehow Want to grab a hold Of that little songbird Take her for a ride To the top of the world Right now Woah-oh-oh Woah-oh To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world
The strangest thought came to me on this morning As I awake to greet the coming dawn The sun was hardly peaking through the garden It felt that with everything, I was one Then I wished that I could come back as a flower As a flower, as a flower How I wished that I could come back as a flower As a flower To spread the sweetness of love To spread the sweetness of love The dew had finished making love to many A rainbow smelling sweet was in the air I envied all the silence I saw growing So unmoved by things outside of themselves And how I wished that I could come back as a flower As a flower, as a flower How I wished that I could come back as a flower As a flower To spread the sweetness of love How I wished that I could come back as a flower Oh, as a flower, as a flower How I wished that I could come back as a flower As a flower, as a flower To spread the sweetness of love To spread the sweetness of love
I wished I was smarter I wished I was stronger I wished I loved Jesus The way my wife does I wish it had been easier Instead of any longer I wished I could have stood Where you would have been proud That won't happen now That won't happen now There's a whole lot of singin' That's never gonna be heard Disappearing everyday Without so much as a word Somehow Think I broke the wings Off that little songbird She's never gonna fly To the top of the world Right now Top of the world I don't have to answer Any of these questions Don't have no God to Teach me no lessons I come home in the evening Sit in my chair One night they called me for supper But I never got up I stayed right there in my chair There's a whole lot of singin' That's never gonna be heard Disappearing everyday Without so much as a word Somehow Think I broke the wings Off that little songbird She's never gonna fly To the top of the world Right now I wished I'da known you Wished I'da shown you All of the things I Was on the inside I'd pretend to be sleeping When you come in in the morning To whisper goodbye Go to work in the rain I don't know why Don't know why 'Cause everyone's singin' We just want to be heard Disappearing everyday Without so much as a word Somehow Want to grab a hold Of that little songbird Take her for a ride To the top of the world Right now Woah-oh-oh Woah-oh To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world
It was a drive-by Sunday night Most of us were in bed all right I turned down the light Then I heard the sirens Interrupt the silence Is this what you wished to commit a crime? Is this what you wished to commit a crime? Is this what you wished To commit a crime, commit a crime Commit a crime?
That's the time it would take to fix my heart Oh, baby, I was there for you All I ever wanted was the truth, yeah, yeah How many nights have you wished someone would stay? Lie awake only hopin' they're okay I never counted all of mine If I tried, I know it would feel like infinity (infinity) Infinity (infinity) Infinity Yeah Infinity
Cherish is the word I use to describe All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you You don't know how many times I've wished that I could Mold you into someone who could Cherish me as much as I cherish you Perish is the word that more than applies To the hope in my heart each time I realize That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes That I am not gonna be the one to share what Seems to be the life that you could Cherish as much as I do yours Oh I'm beginning to think that man has never found The words that could make you want me That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound That could make you hear, make you see That you are drivin' me out of my mind Oh I could say I need you but then you'd realize That I want you just like a thousand other girls Who'd say they loved you With all the rest of their lies When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands And gaze into your eyes Cherish is the word I use to describe All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you You don't know how many times I've wished that I could Mold you into someone who could Cherish me as much as I cherish you And I do cherish you And I do cherish you Cherish is the word
