I wish that I could take your troubles away
Bury them in some far off place
And I wish that I could promise it'll be alright
Give you comfort while you lie awake at night
But it's so easy, for me to say
Yet so hard to keep
So hand me that bottle
I'm calling out that genie tonight
She said it's gonna take more than three
Could you see that she gets all of my best wishes
I wish that I could just say a prayer
Close our eyes, and go anywhere
And I wish that I could show you that this was all a dream
I'll play it for you on a movie screen
And you'll laugh, how it feels so real
And everyone was there
So hand me that book
I'm calling out that God tonight
He said it's gonna take more than your hands and knees
I'm begging please, give her all of my best wishes
So I wish that I could take your troubles away
Bury them in some far off place
Some far off place
Some far off place
Some far off place
