I wish I were a little girl in this lie
No one could resist my little girl smile
I wish I were a baby in this love
I'd be cradled in your arms day and night
I wish I were an old man, a scholar
With the wisdom of a 1,000 men before me
I wish I were a funny dream that haunted
The people I love every time they were down
I wish I was a fine wine
I wish I were a good drug
Hey, and if I were Jesus, maybe I could heal all of us
Just like a good lover, which one do you prefer?
In a world full of vices, I wish I were a little bird
Sometimes


I wish I were the sunset in Verona
I'd make a beautiful picture every time I went to bed
Or maybe more the sunrise waking up to a sad man
And hey, if I were the blue skies, I'd never rain on him
I wish I was a fine wine
I wish I were a good drug
Yeah, and if I were Jesus, maybe I could heal all of us
Just like a good lover, which one do you prefer?
In a world full of vices, I wish I were a little bird
Sometimes
I wish I were an angel in '52
In a blue Cadillac on the eve of the New Year
And there I would have saved him, the man who sang the blues
But maybe he is listening right now
Hopefully he's listening right now
