Sometimes Lyrics

I wish I were a little girl, in this life
No one could resist my little girl smile
I wish I were a baby, in this love
I'd be cradled in your arms day and night
I wish I were an old man, a scholar
With the wisdom of a thousand men before me
I wish I were a funny dream that haunted
People I love every time they were down
I wish I was a fine wine, I wish I were a good drug
Hey and if I were Jesus, maybe I could heal all of us
Just like a good lover, which one do you prefer?
In a world full of vices, I wish I were a little bird
Sometimes
I wish I were the sunset in Verona
I'd make a beautiful picture every time I went to bed
Or maybe more the sunrise waking up to a sad man
And hey if I were the blue skies, I'd never rain on him
I wish I was a fine wine, I wish I were a good drug

Hey and if I were Jesus, maybe I could heal all of us
Just like a good lover, which one do you prefer?
In a world full of vices, I wish I were a little bird
Sometimes
I wish I were an angel in fifty-two
In a blue Cadillac on the eve of the new year
And there I would have saved him, the man who sang the blues
Maybe he is listening right now
Yeah, hopefully he's listening right now
