There are many things that every person hopes for In the never-ending want for happiness Everybody needs a little motivation while they work To carve their own path Maybe it's a summer cottage by the seaside Or bags of money in the bank for years to come I could never blame a dreamer for their dreams Oh but for me, there's only one You are the wish That I imagine when I blow out the candles On my birthday cake You are the wish I say a prayer for when I look out the window And see the Northern Star There's no greater love No greater gift than you as my wish Sometimes I am apt to buy into the falsehood That the grass is greener on the other side Lately I've been trying to savor every moment When you're stuck, stuck in my mind You are the wish That I imagine when I blow out the candles On my birthday cake You are the wish I say a prayer for when I look out the window And see the Northern Star There's no greater love No greater gift 'Cus you are the poster child of quirky imperfections Oh, and if that rings true Please know that I'd be honored to walk Hand in hand, parading as the oddest little couple That the world has ever known to exist But for now, back to my list You are the wish You are the wish I say a prayer for when I look out the window And see the Northern Star And you are right here Oh, this is it You're at the tippy tip top of my bucket list Oh, my love There's no greater gift Than you as my wish
