Wish

[Verse 1]
I remember as the seasons turned to fall
Wind was sittin' and the leaves fell
Hintin' a sign of the near winter's ball
Chill in the air as I strolled down the back steps
Lookin' for a tale to tell
Then she slipped me a stare as I slid into my chair
She already knew me too well

[Verse 2]
She said hello in that beautiful voice
My reply was nowhere as sweet
She seemed impressed by the state of my mess
She laughed at the wings on my feet
Offered me a cigarette
But before i could even refuse
We were standing alone she was chilled to the bone
She told me to sing the blues

[Chorus]
Hey hey now, I feel alright
And I just wanted to see
If I may, if I might
Be the king of your world tonight

[Verse 3]
So I told her of the books I'd read
And details about the time
How I stole six dollars from a man named Jed
Just to turn around and pay him back nine
I quoted my favorite poem
But I ended it terribly wrong
She said "I understand," then she clapped both her hands
And said "That's my favorite song"

[Chorus]
Hey hey now, I feel alright
And I just wanted to see
If I may, if I might
Be the king of your world tonight
If I may, if I might
Be the king of your world tonight

[Verse 4]
Just then a man walked in
And took her away
She said her sweet goodbye
I'll see you again one day
So it was over
And I was standing right here all alone
And I said to myself as I dusted my shelf
"This time I think it was love"

[Chorus]
Hey hey now, I feel alright
And I just wanted to see
If I may, if I might
Be the king of your world tonight

[Chorus]
Hey hey now, I feel alright
And I just wanted to see
If I may, if I might
Be the king of your world tonight
If I may, if I might
Be the king of your world tonight
