Sometimes

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
