Wishing Well
Eye Eye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be wishing you well
And I'll keep in touch
Cause this distance ain't much
And we'll grow old
Two stones growing mold
I'll keep you in my memories
Forever an eternity
I'll be wishing you well
And I'll keep in touch
Cause this distance ain't much
And we'll grow old
Two stones growing mold
I'll keep you in my memories
Forever an eternity
So, I'll miss you in the summertime
Think of you at the drop of a dime
And fall comes in time
Throwing away watermelon rimes
Have a nice trip
And I'll see you next fall
I can't wait to see you again!
I'll miss you in the summertime
Think of you at the drop of a dime
And fall comes in time
Throwing away watermelon rimes
Have a nice trip
And I'll see you next fall
I can't wait to see you again!
I can't wait to see you again!
