Los Lobos - Why We Wish lyrics

That's why we wish, baby Cause forever is way too long That's why we wish, baby baby Cause it's here today And then it's gone It's when a boy Grows up into a man And a seed turns into a tree It's when two lovers kiss Forever it seems And the blind man at last can see That's why we wish, baby Cause forever is way too long That's why we wish, baby Cause it's here today And then it's gone How 'bout the girl Who finds a dream come true In a man that loves her so And the orphan cries Forever it seems Until at last he finds a home That's why we wish, baby Cause forever is way too long That's why we wish, baby baby Cause it's here today And then it's gone Once a poor poor soul Found what looked like a stone And held up into the sun Saw a diamond shining Forever it seemed And his searching, searching days were gone That's why we wish, baby Cause forever is way too long That's why we wish, baby baby Cause it's here today And then it's gone That's why we wish, baby That's why we wish, baby baby
