Three Wishes

This song was fun to write. I wrote it many years ago, early in my marriage. The lyrics were a gift to my wife. Several years later I collaborated with a friend who plays guitar and sings to turn into a song. And now, I've made a version of my own. I hope your wishes have all come true too.

THREE WISHES
by Joe Herbert

Never rubbed on a lamp and found myself a genie
Never chased down a leprechaun
Never walked outside on a clear dark night
And wished upon a shooting star
And I never entered the fortuneteller's tent
Down at the county fair
Never cared to blow out my birthday candles
In only one breath of air
Yeah...

I didn't know that I had three wishes
But I love how they all turned out
I've got good health, a great group of friends
And a family that I care about
Yes, I got all that I always wanted
On the day that I married you
And I didn't even know that I had three wishes
But I'm happy they all came true

I never tugged at my eye for my lashes
Never played tug-of-war with a bone
Don't know any gypsies, fairies or pixies
A magic wand is something I don't own
Never rubbed on the horn of a white unicorn
Never read a book of spells
But I have extra money in my pocket
Cause I didn't throw it down any wells
Yeah...

I didn't know that I had three wishes
But I love how they all turned out
I've got good health, a great group of friends
And a family that I care about
Yes, I got all that I always wanted
On the day that I married you
And I didn't even know that I had three wishes
But I'm happy they all came true

I didn't even know that I had three wishes
But somehow they all came true
