"A Wish" lyrics

Fred Hersch & Esperanza Spalding Lyrics

"A Wish"

No hearts, no flowers at my door
No cards from someone I adore
And yet it seems
You are the focus of my dreams
I only wish that I could be your valentine

There in the middle of my day
You smiled and took my breath away
The sun broke through
The moment I laid eyes on you
Oh, how I wish that I could be your valentine

The years slip silently away
Somehow I missed the chance to say
It must be clearer now than day
Though there'll be songs and poems lovelier than mine
Oh, how I wish that I could be your valentine

The years slip silently away
Somehow I missed the chance to say
It must be clearer now than day
Though there'll be songs and poems lovelier than mine
Oh, how I wish that I could be your valentine
