Woke up this mornin', missin' you Wishing there was something I could do Besides roll out of bed and start another day Turned on the news, tried to listen to the man Turned it off, I just don't give a damn Wish he could tell me why you went away Oh, I wish I could turn back the hands of time Wish you were here by my side But if wishes were horses, beggars would ride Went to work, heard somebody say How ya doin', man, well, I'm doing okay
I wish they all didn't know that I was lying I try to lose myself in my job Everybody says I never worked so hard I wish deep down, I didn't feel so much like crying Oh, I wish I could turn back the hands of time Wish you were here by my side But if wishes were horses, beggars would ride When I fall off to sleep at night I dream I'm still with you How I wish, I could make those dreams come true
