I wish it so

I’ve an unrest inside me

Oh, it’s long I have had such an unrest inside me

And it’s gettin’ real bad

I’m sleepin’ at night

And my heart beats so loud that I wake

All dizzy and light with the dreamin’ and

feelin’ this ache

Such a thumpin’ inside me

That I think I’ll go mad

For I wish it so!

What I wish I still don’t know

But it’s bound to come

Though so long to wait

I keep saying “Tonight!”

Or “Today!” through the endless days

And my heart clamors and prays

It will not come too late

But when come it does

In the shape of love or life

I will give my life

And my love, I know

I’ve such grand aims

With so many names

That I grow numb

But sure one is bound to come

Because I wish, I wish it so

I’ve such grand aims

With so many names

That I grow numb

But sure one is bound to come

Because I wish, I wish it so

It’s the unrest inside me

And I think I’ll go mad
