Lyrics
I WISH I WAS A MOCKINGBIRD
I wish I was a mockingbird
Sitting on a post
I'd sing the sweetest song I know
Just when it hurt me most
You'd never see me crying
Just because you're gone
I wish I was a mockingbird
I'd sing all day long
Chorus:
But there's no hiding what I feel
I'm human through and through
And nothing's ever hurt so much
As it hurts losing you
If I only had my way
Joy is all I'd show
I wish I was a mockingbird
Then you'd never know
I wish that I could fly away
Whenever life was tough
I'd tell my troubles to the wind
And that would be enough
The world would be a better place
When I'd begin to sing
I wish I was a mockingbird
Joy is all I'd bring
Chorus
