about

I wrote this song as a birthday present for Lori and didn't record it until the following fall after my accident. Completing it gave me confidence to begin writing. My sister was kind enough to present it to her improv workshop at Columbia University and used it as a class project. I traveled to NYC to hear it performed by her orchestra, but have very little memory of it. Fortuneatly I did get to see a video of it and was thrilled.

lyrics

Words and Music by Tom Keating


I WISH FOR YOU

CMAJ7 AM7 FMAJ7 G7
EACH NIGHT I LAY HERE WITH A HEART FULL OF WISHES

CMAJ7 AM7 FMAJ7 G7
HOPING THAT EVERYONE COMES TRUE

GM C7 FMAJ7 FM7
BUT IF I JUST GET TO KEEP ONE WISH

C G7 C
I WISH FOR YOU

CHORUS

GM7 C7 FMAJ7
I SEARCH THE HEAVENS UP ABOVE

GM7 C7 FMAJ7
LOOKING FOR A STAR THAT’S TRUE

A7 DM
AND WHEN I FIND THE ONE I’M LOOKING FOR

C G7 C
I WISH FOR YOU

Instrumental verse

Chorus


I DON’T NEED MONEY HONEY, FAME OR FORTUNE


NO NEED TO BE A MILLIONAIRE


WHY WOULD I WANT A BIG COLD MANSION


IF YOU’RE NOT THERE


CHORUS

Possible Third verse

IF I FOUND A MAGIC LAMP AND RUBBED IT

I THINK I KNOW JUST WHAT I’D DO

I’D GIVE AWAY MY FIRST TWO WISHES

THEN I’D WISH FOR YOU

CHORUS

END
