歌词：Los Lobos. Why We Wish.

That's why we wish, baby
'Cause forever is way too long
That's why we wish, baby, baby
'Cause it's here today, then it's gone

It's when a boy grows up into a man
And a seed turns into a tree
It's when two lovers kiss, forever it seems
And the blind man at last can see

That's why we wish, baby
'Cause forever is way too long
That's why we wish, baby
'Cause it's here today and then it's gone

How 'bout the girl that finds a dream come true
In the man that loves her so
Orphan cries forever it seems
Until at last he finds a home

That's why we wish, baby
'Cause forever is way too long
That's why we wish, baby, baby
'Cause it's here today and then it's gone

Once a poor poor soul found what looked like a stone
And held it up into the sun
Saw a diamond shining, forever it seemed
And his searchin', searchin' days were gone

That's why we wish, baby
'Cause forever is way too long
That's why we wish, baby, baby
'Cause it's here today and then it's gone

That's why we wish, baby
That's why we wish, baby, baby
