If Wishes Were Horses

How many times have I wished on a star
Wished that the world could be fairer
It's so overcrowded there's nowhere to go
But there's others with acres to spare
Oh and what I could do with an acre of land
Somewhere to be is all I ask for
How many times have I wished for an acre
If wishes were horses

And how many times have I wished on a star
Wished that my living was easy
Money enough would be money enough
And I wouldn't be selfish or greedy
But what I could start with a fortune of plenty
Something to do is all I ask for
How many times have I wished for a fortune
If wishes were horses
Beggars would ride

And how many times have I wished on a star
Wished that our love could be simple
I'd be who I am, you could be who you are
I would be who I am, you could be who you are
And what we could do with our hearts undivided
Someone to be with is all I ask for
How many times have I wished for such love
O if wishes were horses

We would ride
We would ride
O we would ride
We would ride
I'd saddle Epona
You could take Pegasus
O if wishes were horses
Beggars would ride

And what I could do with an acre of land
What I could do with a fortune
And what we could be if you'd give me your hand
O if wishes were horses
O if wishes were horses
Beggars would ride
