If Wishes Were Horses I had started painting pictures just to pass away the time But the colors all were changed for me when your eyes looked into mine And the pictures have all faded now and I’m singing lonesome songs ‘Cause you touched me much too deeply and I know I can’t stay long CHORUS But if wishes were horses and beggars could ride I would always be with you, always here by your side I would stay And I’d never go away Now all the flowers are dying and the leaves are on the ground The cold winds they are blowing and the Winter’s coming down And soon I will be leaving you though my heart will stay behind My thoughts will all remain here, you’ll be always in my mind Now the rain is softly falling and the streets are cold and grey I keep thinking now if only I could stay another day But the pictures are forgotten now and the songs have passed us by Leaving only memories and time to say goodbye.
