I Wish It So

I've an unrest inside me
Oh, it's long I have had
Such an unrest inside me
And it's gettin' real bad

I'm sleepin' at night
And my heart beats so loud that I wake
All dizzy and light
With the dreaming and feeling this ache
Such a thumpin' inside me
That I think I'll go mad

For I wish it so
What I wish, I still don't know
But it's bound to come
Though so long to wait

I keep sayin' tonight or today
Through the endless days
And my heart clamors and prays
It will not come to late

But when come it does
In the shape of love or life
I will give my life
And my love, I know

I've such grand aims
With so many names
That I grow numb
But sure one is bound to come
Because I wish, I wish it so

I wish it so
It's the unrest inside me
And I think I'll go mad
