Wishing will make it so
Just keep on wishing, and care will go
Dreamers tell us dreams come true, it's no mistake
And wishes are the dreams we dream when we're awake
The curtain
Of night will part
If you are certain
Within your heart
So if you wish long enough
Wish long enough
You will come to know
Wishing will make it so
Wishing was written by Buddy G. DeSylva.
