Three Wishes
The Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I only had three wishes
Here, is just what I would do
First, I'd wish for days of gladness
With a someone sweet and true
For my second wish, a dream house
Cozy fireside for two
And the last of my three wishes
(If I only had three wishes)
(Here is just what I would do)
(First I'd wish for days of gladness)
(With a someone sweet and true)
For my second wish a dream house
Cozy fireside for two
And the last of my three wishes
Please love me as I love you [Repeat: 2X]
The Rat Pack's song "Three Wishes" is a simple yet deeply poignant love song that speaks to the yearning for a life of love and happiness. It starts with the lyrics "If I only had three wishes, here is just what I would do", implying a sense of longing for things that might not necessarily be attainable. The first wish is for "days of gladness", which suggests a desire for a life of joy and happiness, and the company of "someone sweet and true" to share it with. The second wish is for a "dream house", with a cozy fireside for two, which paints a picture of a warm, romantic setting for the two lovers. Finally, the third wish is for the other person to love the singer in the same way that they love them.
The simplicity of the song belies its emotional depth - it's not just about wanting things, but also about the yearning for love and connection. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes this desire, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves that this is what they truly want.
Overall, "Three Wishes" is a beautiful expression of the deepest desire of the human heart - to love and be loved in return.
