Wishful Thinking

Why does blood turn brown when it dries?
And why do the tears well up in your eyes?
And why didn't I learn to ride my bike
When it was warm and sunny outside?

Why can't little kids tie their shoes?
And why can't the white people play the blues?
Why can't I fall in love with you?
It must be because of the seasons

When the leaves start falling from the trees
When the birds start flirting with the bees
When the wind starts blowing from the East to the West
Maybe you'll be the one that I like best

Clouds start forming I can't complain
'Cause I think we might be in need of some rain
When it starts pouring
Don't hide away without me

Bought an umbrella big enough for two
But it feels pretty empty under here without you
I'm dry as a bone, but I'm still alone
I'm so grey

When you're standing in a puddle with wet feet
And your head is sore from pounding drops of sleet
When the cold and lonely hours put your heart to the test..
Maybe I'll be the one that you like best

When the leaves start falling from the trees
When the birds start flirting with the bees
When the wind starts blowing from the East to the West
Maybe you'll be the one that I like best

If the sky should open its eyes
And cry from up above
Let's shed some tears of joy
And fall in love
