I Wish You Love
Natalie Cole Lyrics

Goodbye, no use leading with our chins
There's no point in pretending, so let's say goodbye honestly.

This is where our story ends
Our relationship has come to a close.

Never lovers, ever friends
We were never romantic partners, just friends.

Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day
Let's part ways and move on from this.

But before you walk away
Before you go, I have something to say.

I sincerely want to say
I truly mean this from the bottom of my heart.

I wish you bluebirds in the spring
I hope you find joy and beauty in the small things.

To give your heart a song to sing
May you find peace and happiness in your life.

And then a kiss, but more than this
A simple kiss is not enough, I want more for you.

I wish you love
May you find someone who loves you deeply and truly.

And in July a lemonade
May you find refreshment and relief from life's stressors.

To cool you in some leafy glade
Find rest and relaxation in nature's beauty.

I wish you health
May you be free from sickness and disease.

But more than wealth
Having good health is more important than being rich.

I wish you love
Again, may you find true love in your life.

My breaking heart and i agree
Even though it's difficult, we both know that parting is for the best.

That you and i could never be
Our relationship was never meant to be romantic.

So with my best
I offer you the best of me in this goodbye.

My very best
I give you everything I have with this parting.

I set you free
I release you from any ties to our relationship and wish you the best.

I wish you shelter from the storm
May you always have protection and comfort in times of struggle.

A cozy fire to keep you warm
May you always have warmth and a sense of home.

But most of all when snowflakes fall
What I truly wish for you is coming up next.

I wish you love
At the end of the day, what I want most for you is to have love in your life.

But most of all when snowflakes fall
Reiterated again to emphasize the importance.

I wish you love
Final statement to drive home the heartfelt wish of love for the listener.

I wish you love
Repeated for emphasis and to close out the song on the main message.
