I Wish Songtext
von Atomic Forest

Looking back on when I
Was a little nappy-headed boy
When my only worry
Was for Christmas, what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring

Peeking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
With "Son, I told you not to go outside"
Trying your best to win the
Water to your eyes
Thinking it might stop the
From whipping your behind


I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever, ever have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever, ever have to go?
′Cause I love them so

Brother says he's telling
About you playing doctor with that girl
Just don′t tell, I'll give you
Anything you want in this whole wide world

Mama gives you money
For Sunday school
You trade yours for candy
After church is through

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever, ever have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever, ever have to go?
'Cause I love you so


Smoking cigarette
Writing something nasty on the wall
Nasty boy
Teacher sends you to the
Principal′s office down the hall
You grow up and learn that
Kind of thing ain′t right
Why you are doing it
It sure fell out of sight

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever, ever have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever, ever have to go?
'Cause I love you so
