Trijntje Oosterhuis - i wish lyrics

rate me

Looking back on when I

Was a little nappy headed girl

Then my only worry

Was for Christmas what would be my toy

Even though we sometimes

Would not get a thing

We were happy with the

Joy the day would bring

Sneaking out the back door

To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine

Greeted at the back door

With you mamma told you not to go outside

Tryin' your best to bring the

Water to your eyes

Thinkin' it might stop her

Grom woopin' your behind

I wish those days could come back once more

Why did those days ever have to go

I wish those days could come back once more

Why did those days ever have to go

Cause I loved them so

Brother says he's tellin'

'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl

Just don't tell I'll give you

Anything you want in this whole wide world

Mama gives you money for Sunday school You trade yours for candy after church is through

Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty girl)

Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall

You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right

But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight

I wish those days could come back once more

Why did those days ever have to go

I wish those days could come back once more

Why did those days ever have to go
