Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Wish I could read the minds of women

Wish I had gills for swimming

Wish I had movie star looks

I wish I knew every trick in the book

[Verse 2]

I'd like to feel first love again

And be twenty years younger

But the greatest wish I want to come true

I want my dog to live longer

[Verse 3]

Wish I was the king of rock n' roll

Wish I was cool and in the know

And I wish I'd wrote Blowing in the Wind

I'd like to see my late mother again

[Verse 4]

I'd like to stop poverty

Save this world from hunger

But the greatest wish oh I'd want to come true

I want my dog to live longer

[Verse 5]

I want my dog to live longer

'Cause when he goes I'll be blue

And if I had the power

Oh, I'd have him live as long as me and you

[Verse 6]

'Cause God's got a reason for everything

And in the Lord I trust

But this ain't right

God needs to see the light

'Cause dogs don't live long enough

[Verse 7]

He cheers me up, oh when I'm sad

He's the best friend I've ever had

And I don't care where his nose has been

I'll let him lick my face again and again

[Verse 8]

His love is unconditional

And that just makes me stronger

So the greatest wish I'd want to come true

I want my dog to live longer

[Verse 9]

Oh, the greatest wish I'd want to come true

I want my dog to live longer
