Amanda Marshall - Wishful Thinking Lyrics

I will wait for you
like I promised I would do
though it brings me pain.
And you always knew
what to say to lead me to
believe it's not in vain

I was safe and secure when you were with me
but it only could last till the day that she
took you back again

[CHORUS:]
And so I get by
on wishful thinking
that when you come home
you'll want to stay
give me your hand--
keep me from sinking
another day
of wishful thinking

Sometimes it's lonely
and faith don't come easy
the dreams begin to fade
then you reassure me
how good it's gonna be
when you come back some day

You said you'd be back after you said goodbye
I have to believe that it wasn't a lie
and you'll be here again

[CHORUS]

I was safe and secure when you were with me
but it only could last till the day that she
took you back again

[CHORUS]

Another day
of wishful thinking.
Give me your hand--and save me
from sinking...
