Years Ago

One day I met a wizard, many years ago
He was very, very old. He was very very wise
He told me a secret, many years ago:
How to live, how to love, how to win the golden prize

Tell 'em what the wizard says. Tell 'em what the wizard says
All you have to do is snap your fingers
Make a wish and snap your fingers
That's what you have to do
And your wishes will all come true

One day I met a maiden with honey-colored hair
There never was a maiden so beautiful somewhere
The first time that I kissed her, I promised her my life
And I wondered how to win her to win her for my wife

Remember what the wizard said. Remember what the wizard said
All you have to do is snap your fingers
Make a wish and snap your fingers
That's what you have to do
And your wishes will all come true

The day that we were married, I remember it so well
I remember how I kissed her as the orange blossom fell
I remember how I whispered as I held her tenderly
Now that we are married we must raise a family

Remember what the wizard said. Remember what the wizard said
All you have to do is snap your fingers
Make a wish and snap your fingers
That's what you have to do
And your wishes will all come true

Today we're all together, a family of four
The girl and boy I wished for are playing on the floor
And one day when they're older, I'll hold 'em on my knee
And I'll them the secret that the wizard told to me

Tell 'em what the wizard said. Tell 'em what the wizard said
All you have to do is snap your fingers
Make a wish and snap your fingers
That's what you have to do
And your wishes... Will all come true
