Wishing
Martine McCutcheon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been wishing
I've been wishing
I've been wishing
for someone so right like you
I've been wishing

so long I've been watching everyone else
looks like they're enjoying themselves
I've been hoping
my time will come
and you'd see me
then you came to me like a summer breeze
in my heart I feel this must be real
now it's time to say
that I'm on my way
to letting you know
just how I feel
I've been wishing
for a day
I've been wishing
for a night
I've been wishing
for someone so right
like you
I've been wishing

You're here
I've been waiting
it's takin' so long
to have you here back to my arms
It means the world to me baby be mine
now and always
then you came to me like a summer breeze
in my heart I feel you know it's real
now it's time to say
that I'm on my way
to letting you know
just how I feel
I've been wishing
for a day
I've been wishing
for a night
I've been wishing




for someone so right
like you
