Something I've had before
I've seen your face in the firelight
I've needed your love in the dark of the night
What am I wishing for
Someone like you , someone like you
I know that someday , my love, it's gonna be all right
Someday , my love, waiting for you tonight
Love grows , I know, it's gonna be all right now
What am I wishing for
Something I've had before
I've seen your face in the windowpane
I've needed your love when you're home again
What am I wishing for
Someone like you , someone like you
(break)
I know that someday ,my love, it's gonna be all right
Someday , my love, waiting for you tonight
Love grows, I know , it's gonna be all right now
What am I waiting for
Someone like you , someone like you
I know that someday , my love, it's gonna be all right
Someday, my love ,waiting for you tonight
Love grows, I know, it's gonna be all right now
What am I wishing for
Someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you (fade)
The Wishing Song - Bee Gees
Released in 1973, "The Wishing Song" stands as a quintessential example of the Bee Gees' mid-period harmonies and production style. The track features the brothers' signature three-part vocal arrangement, layered over a driving disco rhythm that defined the era's sound. While often associated with their later disco dominance, this recording showcases their earlier pop sensibilities, blending romantic themes with an upbeat tempo. The song remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the group's ability to craft catchy, emotionally resonant tracks that bridged the gap between soft rock and emerging dance music. Its enduring popularity highlights the Bee Gees' mastery in creating melodic structures that have influenced countless subsequent artists across multiple genres.
