A pocket full of wishes A well down below This ain't the first time That I've stood here and thrown But ol' George ain't been too lucky And I've lost faith in Honest Abe Cause all I know is they ain't made good On one wish that I've made
So now I'm wishin' her well Hopin' that she's alright And wishin' that I was one who was holdin' her tonight But if she's made up her mind Then I'm just makin' a fool of myself But there goes a dime Cause I'm wishin' her well A quarter hits the bottom A wish that won't come true There's at least a thousand faces
Staring up through the blue I wouldn't give you a nickel For any chance I've got So I'll just flip it off my finger And watch it float down to the rocks
Cause now I'm wishin' her well Hopin' that she's alright Wishin' that I was the one who was holdin' her tonight But if she's made up her mind Then I'm just makin' a fool of myself Yes there goes a dime Cause I'm wishin' her well
