Lyrics

I wish you love And happiness  
I guess I wish you All the best  
I wish you don't Do like I do  
And ever fall in love with Someone like you  
Cause if you fell Just like I did  
You'd probably walk around the block like a little kid.  
But kids don't know They can only guess  
How hard it is To wish you happiness  
  
I guess that love Is like a Christmas card  
You decorate a tree You throw it in the yard  
It decays and dies And the snowmen melt  
Well I once knew love I knew how love felt  
Yeah I knew love Love knew me  
And when I walked Love walked with me  
And I got no hate And I got no pride  
Well I got so much love That I cannot hide  
  
Say you drive a Chevy Say you drive a Ford  
You say you drive around the town till you just get bored  
Then you change your mind For something else to do  
And your heart gets bored with your mind and it changes you  
Well it's a doggone shame And it's an awful mess  
I wish you love I wish you happiness  
I wish you love I wish you happiness  
I guess I wish you All the best
