That's why we wish, baby
  Cause forever is way too long
  That's why we wish, baby baby
  Cause it's here today
  And then it's gone
  
  It's when a boy
  Grows up into a man
  And a seed turns into a tree
  It's when two lovers kiss
  Forever it seems
  And the blind man at last can see
  
  That's why we wish, baby
  Cause forever is way too long
  That's why we wish, baby
  Cause it's here today
  And then it's gone
  
  How 'bout the girl
  Who finds a dream come true
  In a man that loves her so
  And the orphan cries
  Forever it seems
  Until at last he finds a home
  
  That's why we wish, baby
  Cause forever is way too long
  That's why we wish, baby baby
  Cause it's here today
  And then it's gone
  
  Once a poor poor soul
  Found what looked like a stone
  And held up into the sun
  Saw a diamond shining
  Forever it seemed
  And his searching, searching days were gone
  
  That's why we wish, baby
  Cause forever is way too long
  That's why we wish, baby baby
  Cause it's here today
  And then it's gone
  That's why we wish, baby
  That's why we wish, baby baby
