I Wish Songtext
von Dynamo’s Rhythm Aces

Thinking back on when I was a little nappy-headed boy
Then 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

Sneaking out the back door, hang out with them hoodlum friends of mine
Sneaking out the back door when your mama told you not to go outside
Try so hard to bring that water to your eyes
Hoping it will stop her whooping your behind

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end? Why did they have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end? Why did they have to go?
I miss them so
Where did they go?

Brother says he′s telling he saw you playing doctor with that nurse
Please don't tell on me, brother, and I′ll
Give you anything in this whole wide world
Mother give you money for the Sunday school
You trade it for candy when the church is through


Smoking cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall
Woo, you nasty boy
Teacher send you to the principal's office way down the hall
Even though you know that kind of thing ain't right
Boy, when you were doing it, it sure felt out of sight

Why did those days end? Why did they have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end? Why did they have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more
I miss them so

Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

And even though you know that kind of thing ain′t right
Boy, when you were doing it, it sure felt out of sight

Why did those days end? Why did they have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end? Why did they have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more
I miss them so


Why did they go? Lord, I don′t know
Boy, I miss them so
I wish those days could come back to my life
I wish those days could make me feel alright
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days end?
