Make A Wish
Timmy Abell

It happens at your birthday party,
With all your friends
All gathered 'round the table,
Cake and ice cream time
Birthday candles shining brightly,
You're all set to blow
Eyes closed, you make a wish
Then you let it go

Make a wish, set it free
Let it go, wait and see

A baby tooth might wiggle loose
You're growing up
Slip it underneath your pillow
Wait till morning comes
Good luck begins with wishes
From another time
Like when you blew those dandelion
Wishes to the wind

Make a wish, set it free
Let it go, wait and see
Do you, do you know
Where your wishes like to go?
They're traveling on, they're gathering up
Then turning around, they're flying back..to you

You might drop your magic penny
In a wishing well
Who'll ever know your secrets
If you never tell
You hang a wish upon the moon
Or a falling star
But save up your deepest wishes
For your evening prayer

Make a wish, set it free
Let it go, wait and see
Do you, do you know
Where your wishes like to go?
They're traveling on, they're gathering up
Then turning around, they're flying back..to you
To you, back to you
They're flying back to you
Someday your wishes will come true

Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight
Wish I may, wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight
