Darrell Scott - I Wish lyrics

I Wish ringtone on your mobile phone

I wish I was a chauffer

California, New Year's Eve

Driving around a pretty lady with a hanky up her sleeve

I would light her tiparillos just as civil as you please

I wish I was a diver on a ship with Jacques Cousteau

I'd get a picture in our rubber suits so that everyone would know

"Hey, you really know Jacques?"

I'd say, "Yeah, just look at this"

I'd show it everywhere I go, Jacques Cousteau, Jacques Cousteau

I wish I was a cartoon

I wish I was Peter Pan

Then I could fly away from sorrow and never have to feel like a man

You ask me why I'm still a child?

Well, it's just because I am

I wish I had a cabin on the top of some big hill

I'd build a fire every evening and listen to thwe whipporwill

Eat my food out of a garden and drink my whiskey from a still

I wish I was a diamond on the back of your skinny little hand

Then I could keep my eye on you

Maybe then I would understand

How you just leave us all weeping just to prove that you still can
