SOMETIMES

I wish I were a little girl, in this life No one could resist my little girl smile I wish I were a baby, in this love I'd be cradled in your arms day and night I wish I were an old man, a scholar With the wisdom of a thousand men before me I wish I were a funny dream that haunted People I love every time they were down I wish I was a fine wine, I wish I were a good drug Hey and if I were Jesus, maybe I could heal all of us Just like a good lover, which one do you prefer? In a world full of vices, I wish I were a little bird Sometimes I wish I were the sunset in Verona I'd make a beautiful picture every time I went to bed Or maybe more the sunrise waking up to a sad man And hey if I were the blue skies, I'd never rain on him I wish I was a fine wine, I wish I were a good drug Hey and if I were Jesus, maybe I could heal all of us Just like a good lover, which one do you prefer? In a world full of vices, I wish I were a little bird Sometimes I wish I were an angel in fifty-two In a blue Cadillac on the eve of the new year And there I would have saved him, the man who sang the blues Maybe he is listening right now Yeah, hopefully he's listening right now
