One Rainy Wish Lyrics

[Chorus]
Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
Misty blue and the lilac too
Never to grow old


[Verse 1]
There you were under the tree of song
Sleeping so peacefully
In your hand a flower played
Waiting there for me

[Verse 2]
I have never laid eyes on you
Not before this timeless day
But you woke and you
Once smiled my name
And you stole my heart away
Stole my heart away little girl, yeah
All right!

[Chorus]
Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
Misty blue and the lilac too
Never to grow old
