Stevie Wonder I Wish Lyrics



Looking back on when I

Was a little nappy headed boy

Then my only worry

Was for Christmas what would be my toy

Even though we sometimes

Would not get a thing

We were happy with the

Joy the day would bring



Sneaking out the back door

To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine

Greeted at the back door

With boy thought I told you not to go outside

Tryin' your best to bring the

Water to your eyes

Thinkin' it might stop her

Grom woopin' your behind



I wish those days could come back once more

Why did those days ev-er have to go

I wish those days could come back once more

Why did those days ev-er have to go

Cause I love them so



Brother says he's tellin'

'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl

Just don't tell I'll give you

Anything you want in this whole wide world

Mama gives you money for Sunday school

You trade yours for candy after church is through



Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)

Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the wall

You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right

But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight



I wish those days could come back once more

Why did those days ev-er have to go

I wish those days could come back once more

Why did those days ev-er have to go



On this classic track, Stevie Wonder is talking about some of the hard lessons he learned as a kid and how he misses those good old days. Ain't it funny how some of our most punitive and punishing moments in life end up being some of our fondest memories? I remember throwing toy cars in the toilet to see what they would do, well after I found out what they could do my Dad found out about my expedition. Let's just say after that moment my curiosity was much more selective lol. Sometimes we have to take ourselves back to those grimy and un fun times that presented challenges and turbulent times for us. If you are able to find time to read this blog however, you must be able to look back at several of those 'hard times' and laugh. Stevie took us back to his days and allowed us to get lost in his reminiscing. Now it's time for you to find solace in the past tense of previous troubles. " you grow up and learn that kind of thing ain't right, but while you were doing it- it sure felt outta sight" - Stevie Wonder

holla at ya boy!
