Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
from Disney's Pinocchio
Flock of Seagulls - Wishing
"If I had a photograph of you,
It’s something to remind me.
I wouldn’t spend my life just wishing."
Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Planning and dreaming each night of his charms
That won't get you into his arms
Wishin' and Hopin'
Dusty Springfield
How Do you do it - Gerry and the Pacemakers/tried by The Beatles
"How do you do what you do to me?
I wish I knew
If I knew how you do it to me
I'd do it to you"
Wish you were here - Pink Floyd
"So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here."
I wish I could be like all my heroes
I wish I could be like all yours too
"Otis Redding"
Everclear
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it,
to your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
- Rascal Flatts
we wish you a Merry Christmas
we wish you a Merry Christmas
we wish you a Merry Christmas
--And a Happy New Year!
I wish I may I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight
That's sung in the refrain of the song Holly cited on dreams:
A secret passage traveling through space and time
to far away places that i've only seen in story books, in picture shows, and in my dreams
This was my favorite song for a long time when i was younger, but i never knew/cared what it's called or who sings it
I know it's part of the "Star light, star bright" rhyme which isn't sung, too, but in that song they do sing the second half of the rhyme.
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heart ache
Whatever you wish for you keep
(2 wishes!)
From Cinderella
I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weiner...
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again
Wonderful
Everclear
I wish I had your money
And you had a doo wacka doo...

Oh I wish that I could be

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, then I could wish you Merry Christmas.
I thought that was "So that I could whistle Merry Christmas" but that doesn't make much sense.
It's not a song, but I liked when Jambi used to say, on Peewee's Playhouse, "Wish--did someone say wish?"
Count the white horses you meet on the way. Count the white horses, child, day after day. Count the white horses till seven, if you wish on the seventh your wish will come true.
Seventh Horse

Oh, I wish, I wish, I wish
I was born a man
So I could learn how to stand
Up for myself
Like those guys with guitars
I've been watching in bars
Who've been stamping their feet
to a different beat
To a different b-e-a-t
~Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole, by Martha Wainwright
*Great folksy song, must download!*

Who said that every wish
would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?

I wish I was magic I'd magically find a secret passage traveling through space at a time.....
Love this song. But I can't find it anywhere T_T

Sandra, I have been searching for the complete lyrics of a song you mentioned. " I wish I was magic, I's magically find, a secret passage traveling through space and time/to far away places, that i've only seen, in story books and picture shows and in my dreams. Cause wishes are magic and wishes have wings a sky full of wishes and the whole world sings..." I would really appreciate any help or direction. Thanks!
Holly has it on a home-made tape. I'll ask her to find it and I can transcribe it.
Maybe Kirby knows what the original was (we have lots of cassette tapes in a closet upstairs) and I can find the composer/author credits.
Hi there!
Sorry to jump in, I know this is random, but I have been searching for the song that both Sandra and "anonymous" talked about for YEARS. I had it on a tape as a child and when I was in first grade I sang it in the talent show. It's very nostalgic for me. Does anybody have any leads? I'd really like to find out who it's by or what it's called and try to get a copy. Please comment if you know anything! Thank you!

RE:

I wish there were forests.. blah blah blah Cause wishes are magic and wishes have wings a sky full of wishes and the whole world sings...blah blah
The Song that Wind Whispers and Anonymous were looking for is called I wish I was magic, by Linda Arnold. The Album is Peppermint Wings... if you want an example of the song- I found it at http://tinyurl.com/5aqkl2 I spent 5 months hard searching for it- so I hope y'all see this posting. Cheers~ ibaphilosophizor
THANK YOU! I found a Disney lullaby CD recently and got all excited, but that one wasn't on there.
I'll put your note on the AlwaysLearning list and maybe it will be seen. I really appreciate the find!
I too was searching for the lyrics to that "I wish I was magic" song and came across this blog. Dunno if anyone still cares but here is the full lyrics written word for word as I listened to the original Walt Disney storyteller cassette with The Ugly Duckling story narated by M. Kaplan.
I wish I was magic - Lyrics
I wish I was magic,
I'd magically find,
a secret passage travelling through space and time,
to far away places that I've only seen,
in story books and picture shows and in my dreams.
Cause wishes are magic,
and wishes have wings.
The sky's full of wishes when the whole world sings.
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Theres a wish on every star that's bright.
The wish I wish tonight for you -
is that every wish you make comes true.
Thanks, anon.
I guess there are two versions out there, then, because the one we had is the same as the one I downloaded from iTunes and there's a bridge section and another verse
What a beautiful song.

I wish I was magic; I'd magically find
A secret passage traveling through space and time
To far-away places that I've only seen
In story books and picture shows and in my dreams
I wish there were forests where wings grew on trees
I'd pick some off, try them on, and soar on a breeze
See the man in the moon, take a side-trip to Mars
And fill my pockets full of stars
I wish I may, I wish I might
Be the wish you wish tonight
And if the wish you make comes true
Magic shines on you
'Cause wishes are magic, and wishes have wings
The sky's full of wishes when the whole sings
I wish I may, I wish I might
There's a wish on every star that's bright
The wish I wish tonight for you
Is that every wish you wish comes true.
I have the song on an OLD Disney Sleeptime Songs tape. I love this tape and I'm hoping to find all the songs on cd for when I have children.
