There in that moment as I took that big breath
I had an inkling right before I blew
Out all of those candles I felt it might happen
And the wish I was wishing would surely come true
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Ooo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
It doesn't seem fair that we only get one wish
We should get a couple, three or at least two
A few for yourself and a wish for the whole world
But we only have one wish with which to make do
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Ooo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
When we were children we'd wish for more wishes
Greedy but practical we probably knew
You never stop dreaming, you live life by wishing
Wishfully thinking is how you get through
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
And what do we wish for - toys, fame or money
Health, happiness, long life, a love that is true
A puppy, a pony, some peace in the valley
All our desires are all overdue
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Ooo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
We only have one day to wish, that's our birthday
Candles on cake on a day we may rue
I'd like to tell you what it was I wished for
But you know if I told you it wouldn't come true
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
