I wish my days were not so frantic
I wish my house stood on a hill
so I could hear the sea below me
so I could smell the daffodils

I wish that I could stop the time
from slipping away
that's what I did when I was five
(ooh lucky me)
I wish my heart was made of stone
it's made of clay
for a man in love
that's allright

I wish that I could stop pretending
& be myself just for a change
much more in love & not so demanding
I'd stop remembering thing
the way they should have been

I wish that I could spend more time
with sweet sixteen
she makes me laugh, she takes me higher
(ooh lucky me)
I'll write her name across the sky
for all to see
that a man in love is a fool in love
what he wants is playing in the sunshine
like a boy so free
baby one two three
anyone still playing when the rain falls ?

I wish my days were not so frantic
I wish my house stood on a hill
a hill amongst hills
close by the sea
just you & me
