Why We Wish - Los Lobos

That’s why we wish, baby

'Cause forever is way too long

That’s why we wish, baby, baby

'Cause it’s here today, 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 that finds a dream come true

In the man that loves her so

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 it up into the sun

Saw a diamond shining, forever it seemed

And his searchin', searchin' 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
