Wishful Thinking
Judd and Maggie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby I don't mind calling you baby
I'll watch the stars and just maybe I'll see you
Sometime I'd like to watch the sunrise
And see you looking at these eyes
Wouldn't you

Would you miss me if you wanted to see me?
Would you steal your parents car keys?

Think of a time when I can buy you a big diamond ring
I'll try
I'll try

Crowds they won't stop getting in our way still
I'd hate to dwell on a bad day
So I steer my ship on course for you dear
And suddenly lose all this fear

Would you miss me if you wanted to see me?
Would you steal your parents car keys?
Think of a time when I can buy you a big diamond ring
I'll try
I'll try

Baby I don't mind calling you baby
I'll watch the stars and just maybe I'll see you
