I Wonder
Mindi Abair Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lovers in love would cross the mountains and seas / They'll reach for the stars, and they'll fall to their knees
And I wonder, baby I wonder
A promise a kiss and a warm summer breeze They speak from the heart and say thank you and please
And I wonder, Yeah baby I wonder
What kind of world this would be if all of their hope and sympathy / Could sink into all of us like love or gravity
Thoughts of forever, a thousand a day / They believe in tomorrow and get carried away
And I wonder, baby I wonder
Always something to do, always something to say / They dream for each other, love's funny that way
And I wonder, Yeah baby I wonder




What kind of world this would be if all of their hope and sympathy / Could sink into all of us like love or gravity
I wonder
