I Wish by Mr. Dollar

A couple of months ago I was listening to Rick Rubin interview Rivers Cuomo (Weezer) when Rivers said "I wish I could sing like David Bowie". I threw that in my iPhone notes and two months later I have a finished song based on that line called "I Wish". I'd like to take this opportunity to add a few wishes that didn't make the song:

- I wish this f'ing pandemic was over!
- I wish cops would stop shooting black people.
- I wish I was a little bit taller.

I would like to extend a special thank you to Ronda Warner and Mrs. Dollar for singing backup vocals for me on this song. I love you both!

Please give it a listen, a like and a follow.

Lyrics

I wish I could sing like David Bowie
I wish I could be your man
I wish I could paint like Pablo Picasso
I wish I could hold your hand

I wish I could drive like Mario Andretti
I wish you could be my girl
I wish I could write like T S Elliot
And turn sand into a pearl

I wish I was
A little better looking
Your dream come true

I wish I was
A little bit braver
Brave enough to talk to you

I wish I could act like Robert de Niro
I wish I could call you mine
I wish I could shred like Joe Satriani
I wish you would fall in line

I wish I could shoot like Stephen Curry
I wish you would look my way
I wish I could think like Albert Einstein
I wish today was the day

I wish I was
A little better looking
Your dream come true

I wish I was
A little bit braver
Brave enough to talk to you

I wish I was
A little better looking
Your dream come true

I wish I was
A little bit braver
Brave enough to talk to you

Brave enough to talk to you

Your dream come true

Brave enough to talk to you
