Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
一人きり膝を抱えて
待っていて駆けつけてくから
午前0時の鐘が鳴る前に
その窓を開けてみてごらん
街はもう奇跡に溢れて
懐かしい歌も聞こえるよ
信じてる気持ちさえなくさないように
もう一度その瞳揺らせてくれたら
・・・ほら
君にいくつもの真白な天使が舞い降りて
笑ったらとっておきのこの夜を祝おう
たくさんの愛しさをわけてくれたから
望むなら空だって泳いでみせるよ
・・・ほら
君は誰よりも大切な人だから
どんなに歳月が流れても笑っていて欲しい
祈ってる僕なんかどうなっても
君がいつまでもいつまでも
幸せでありますように
ring bell through the window, I wish you smile for me, sing song altogether, la la la la...
The song "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder is a nostalgic and upbeat song that reminisces about the good old days of Motown music and the simpler times of life. Stevie's lyrics are personal and relatable, as he talks about his childhood experiences in the 60s, on the streets of Detroit. He showcases the fun and carefree lifestyle with the opening line, "Looking back on when I was a little nappy-head boy" and recalls the memories of family, friends, and good times.
The lyrics evoke feelings of nostalgia, as the singer remembers the simplicity and joy of youth, and hopes the good times will continue on. The song voices the thoughts of wanting another chance to experience wholesome moments again, to relive what has been before. The verses then express a strong desire to keep up that sense of hope and optimism for the bright future. The chorus sees Stevie wishing for things that he believes don't exist anymore but wants to believe in the innocence and goodness of the world.
In conclusion, the brilliance of Stevie Wonder lies in his ability to capture a sense of innocence, joy, and hope through his music. His lyrics are imbued with nostalgia, optimism, and love for life, which leave the listeners with a sense of warmth and positivity that lingers long after the song finishes.

That opening bass riff is untouchable.
Andre Calhoun
Carlo Duncan Stevie was inspired to write that bassline after hearing EWF's shinning star. If you go back and listen they are very similar. Greatness inspiring more greatness

But Will Smith did it... Wild Wide West
Renfield
It's what inspired Bjorn and Benny of ABBA to write The Name Of The Game.
