All my life I dreamed of you, and wondered where you are
All my life I wished for you on every falling star
Then you came along, my wish come true, the dream could begin
Then all at once you were gone, this is not how dreams should end

Chorus:
I wished for you and you came true
I wish that I had known
That you would leave me after all
And leave me all alone
I wish I knew how to get over you
Somewhere sometime somehow
But most of all I wish I knew
Just what to wish for now

If it doesn't last forever, what good does wishing do
And what good is dreaming, if dreams never come true
What good does it do to fall in love if it doesn't last forevermore
And if loving only causes pain, then what is loving for?

Chorus:
I wished for you and you came true
I wish that I had known
That you would leave me after all
And leave me all alone
I wish I knew how to get over you
Somewhere sometime somehow
But most of all I wish I knew
Just what to wish for now

Bridge:
So I'm crushing my four-leaf clover
Never looking at stars no more
Never blowing out birthday candles
Toss my rabbit foot out the door
Never gonna break a wishbone
Don't like chicken anyhow
Cuz the last time I did it got me you
And look where that's got me now

Chorus:
I wished for you and you came true
I wish that I had known
That you would leave me after all
And leave me all alone
I wish I knew how to get over you
Somewhere sometime somehow
But most of all I wish I knew
Just what to wish for now
