I only wish I could (Children’s song)

1^st:

 

If I were a little bird,

I’d spread my wings and fly.

My bright song, by all, would be heard

as I’d go flapping by.

 

If I were a little fish,

I’d swim throughout the sea;

swim anywhere that I could wish;

see all there is to see.

 

Chorus:

 

I would fly, fly, fly

through the sky, sky, sky

or swim happily

through the big, blue, sea.

 

And everyone I see

would say hello to me.

Wouldn’t that be good.

I only wish I could.

 

2^nd:

 

If I were a little pup;

over green fields I’d run;

so fast that no one could keep up.

Oh, wouldn’t that be fun!

 

Or, if I were a little star,

up in the sky at night,

people would see me from afar

and praise my twinkling light.

 

Chorus:

 

I would run, run, run

having fun, fun, fun.

I would shine so bright

in the sky at night.

 

And everyone I see

would say hello to me.

Wouldn’t that be good.

I only wish I could.
