There's a big blue cloud next to heaven

where all wishes are stored

old an' new . . .



And each day an angel from heaven

looks them through,

picks a few to come true . . .



There are wishes from a kiddies prayer

from folks who are apart,

wished from afar . . .



From a grandma in her rockin' chair

and from a lover's heart,

wished on a star . . .



There's a big blue cloud next to heaven

where all wishes are stored

old an' new . . .



So be patient, leave it to heaven

and your wish will come true

someday soon . . .
