A Hundred Wishes lyrics

by

William Butler Yeats


[Chorus]
If I had a hundred wishes
And only one of them could come true
I would wish that, over this distance
I could be right there, now, with you

[Verse 1]
Could we be in France again?
Dance beneath the olive trees
Lingering bodies on a deserted beach
Moon above to catch the breeze

[Chorus]
In the night, I see you still
Darkened hair and a tender smile
Leaning out of the windowsill
Clutching roses all the while

[Verse 2]
Could we be in Spain again?
Dance beneath the olive trees
Mingling bodies on a deserted beach
Moon above to catch the breeze

[Chorus]
If I had a hundred wishes
And only one of them could come true
I would wish that, over this distance
I could be right there, now, with you
[Chorus]
Do you remember the sunlit road
We took to the coast of Clare
Heard the ocean on the rocks
And listened to the music there

[Verse 4]
Could we be in Ireland again?
Dance beneath the oak trees
Mingling bodies on a deserted beach
Moon above to catch the breeze

[Chorus]
If I had a hundred wishes
And only one of them could come true
I would wish that, over this distance
I could be right there, now, with you
