Lyrics
I wish I was a child again
I wish I wish I wish in vain,
I wish I was a child again,
A child again I could never be
Until apples grew on a witherd tree .
I wish I can on my father's knee,
And sit and feel him close to me,
But in the graveyard, there he lies,
I hope he sees my teary eyes.
But now he's gone, I am alone,
To God's own home he is gone,
His photo lies on my mantle piece;
Seeing him there brings great release.
To all the world my story tell,
And let your hearts in love must dwell.
Don't wait until 'tis too late.
And hope to meet at heaven's gate.
These are the words my father sang
They are the original song lyrics of
"I wish I wish I wish in vain". He learned them
From an English Navy Officer stationed in
Ceylon (Now Sri Lanka)
