I Wish for You

I wish for you
a million stars to twinkle in your sleepy midnight sky
I wish for you
a path that may not always look so straight, but you know it’s right
I wish for you
lazy days to seek the sacred treasures this life hides
Dreams do come true
I know because I’ve lived a few of mine and they’re all right
more than all right

And I’ll smile every time I think of you
And I’ll cry when I hear that you feel pain
And I’ll try to remember that life is more than sentiment
But that’s what makes us richer for the rain
The feelings are the part I can’t explain

I wish for you
a moment when you see with perfect eyes where you belong
I wish for you
the courage to be honest when you know you’ll be thought wrong
They’ll call you wrong

And I’ll smile when I hear about your victories
And I’ll cry when I learn that you have gone
And I’ll try to remember that I am lucky to have been
A shadow in your background for this long
For just so long

Don’t miss the small moments
waiting for the big events
Don’t look too far ahead -
tomorrow is right there
