Three Wishes

I went for a walk 
beneath a night's lonely sky 
I was missing my love 
when a glimpse caught my eye 
A shooting star fell 
from the heavens,dark above 
I closed my eyes, made a wish 
for my long lost love 

I saw a fountain pool 
while strolling through a mall 
Reached in my pocket 
the fount seemed to call 
I tossed a shiny penny 
closed my eyes, made a wish 
To once again, very soon 
feel her gentle kiss 

Then it was my birthday, 
mother baked a cake, 
before I blew out candles 
I had a wish to make 
Wherever you are, my love 
Wherever that may be 
Know how much I love you 
Please come back to me
