“Wishing” is the attempted reassurance of the singer to his ‘darlin’ that he will be in her life, when both of them know he probably will not. ‘I wish you were here to hold’ following ‘I wish everything was gold’ shows how unlikely it is that he will actually be there. Still, the singer does not los...
Little darlin', don't you cry
You know, I'll try to be there with you by and by
When everything is going wrong, now don't you cry
I'm wishin'
Little darlin', far away
I see the world go rollin' by my windowpane
But I can only wish that I was there again
I'm wishin'
I wish that everything was gold
I wish you were here to hold
I'm wishin'
Little darlin', the night is long
I thought I'd be back now, I must have got it wrong
You and California call me in this song
I'm wishin'
I wish that everything was gold
I wish you were here to hold
I'm wishin'
Little darlin', I see you
You're cryin' in the sun, I gotta be with you
I'm gonna be there soon, I'll make it all come true
I'm wishin'
I wish that everything was gold
I wish you were here to hold
I'm wishin'
