lyrics

Well, can you spare a penny for a lover in disguise?
I'll toss it in the fountain where my treasure piles high...

But, I'll hide
the wishes lain inside
'Til I find the words

But, I can tell the wishing well,
keep my heartache to myself,
and hope that you can see
all your dreams in me.
And, if I tell the wishing well
that you've got me in a spell,
maybe you could be
wishing next to me
someday...

Well, I've been staying up to wish on every shooting star
and I've been writing letters but I never get that far, no

I get tongue-tied,
and filled with butterflies,
but I'll try one night

We're there in the starlight,
I'm holding you beneath the moon;
I've waited my whole life,
for this wish to come true—

Wishing well,
keep my heartache to myself,
and hope that you can see
all your dreams in me.
And, if I tell the wishing well
that you've got me in a spell,
maybe you could be
wishing next to me
someday...
