If I Had One Wish
David Hasselhoff · Hooked On A Feeling [1999]
I'd spend it all on you
If I had one day
I'd spend it all with you
Cause only in dreams
Can I look into your eyes
With only the wind
To hear me when I cry
If I had one wish
Darling come home, I miss you
Just for one kiss
That's all I want,
If I had one wish
I'd spend it all on you
Sweet heart please come home
I miss you
Heavenly stars
Shining so bright from a distance
Could you please help me
To send my mommy a message
Tell her I miss her
And I want her to come home
Please tell her I love her
More than she could know
(cello / piano solo section)
If I had one wish
Please mom come home, I miss you
Just for one kiss
That's all I want
If I had one wish
I'd spend it all on you
Sweet heart please come home
Mommy please come home
We miss you
