remembering a spirit that we held on to
the funny little things we said to make it right
as if those summer days we knew would never end
but then they started drifting slowly out of sight
deep in a wishing well
the coin we threw will never tell

never really had a chance
we didn't really find romance
but i can't forget the way
that you came to me that night
we made a wish and tossed it high
and as it turned within the sky
what you and i would be
was left to destiny

whenever i'm alone in some side street cafe
i keep on thinking there's a face that i might see
and then i'm spinning round and round within a crowd
as if you might be waiting once again for me
fate was the guiding hand
but did we ever see it land?

and if something in my heart waits
like traces i can't locate
they whisper in the wind
and through you taught me love is lonely
still it's not the only
way your dream falls in the wishing well

never really had a chance
we didn't really find romance
but i can't forget the way
that you came to me that night
we made a wish and tossed it high
and as it turned within the sky
what you and i would be
was left to destiny

remembering a spirit that we held on to
remembering a wish i made one day with you
