A Hundred Wishes by Loreena McKennitt Lyrics
[Chorus 1]
If I had a hundred wishes
And only one of them could come true
I would wish that, over this distance
I could be right there, now, with you
[Verse 1]
Could we be in France again?
Dance beneath the olive trees
Lingering bodies on a deserted beach
Moon above to catch the breeze
[Chorus 2]
In the night, I see you still
Darkened hair and a tender smile
Leaning out of the windowsill
Clutching roses all the while
[Verse 2]
Could we be in Spain again?
Dance beneath the olive trees
Mingling bodies on a deserted beach
Moon above to catch the breeze
[Chorus 1]
If I had a hundred wishes
And only one of them could come true
I would wish that, over this distance
I could be right there, now, with you
[Chorus 3]
Do you remember the sunlit road
We took to the coast of Clare
Heard the ocean on the rocks
And listened to the music there
[Verse 4]
Could we be in Ireland again?
Dance beneath the oak trees
Mingling bodies on a deserted beach
Moon above to catch the breeze
[Chorus 1]
If I had a hundred wishes
And only one of them could come true
I would wish that, over this distance
I could be right there, now, with you
If I had a hundred wishes
And only one of them could come true
I would wish that, over this distance
I could be right there, now, with you
[Verse 1]
Could we be in France again?
Dance beneath the olive trees
Lingering bodies on a deserted beach
Moon above to catch the breeze
[Chorus 2]
In the night, I see you still
Darkened hair and a tender smile
Leaning out of the windowsill
Clutching roses all the while
[Verse 2]
Could we be in Spain again?
Dance beneath the olive trees
Mingling bodies on a deserted beach
Moon above to catch the breeze
[Chorus 1]
If I had a hundred wishes
And only one of them could come true
I would wish that, over this distance
I could be right there, now, with you
[Chorus 3]
Do you remember the sunlit road
We took to the coast of Clare
Heard the ocean on the rocks
And listened to the music there
[Verse 4]
Could we be in Ireland again?
Dance beneath the oak trees
Mingling bodies on a deserted beach
Moon above to catch the breeze
[Chorus 1]
If I had a hundred wishes
And only one of them could come true
I would wish that, over this distance
I could be right there, now, with you
