Wishes
Lyrics & Music: Maureen S. O'Brien, February 1998
Insp: JAG (Judge Advocate General)
Summary: Harm/Mac, based on the conversation from "Father's Day".
A little jazz song.

MAC:
You look so happy.
Your love seems so warm. 
I'm sitting by you, but me, I feel
The cold and the storm.
Now you have the fam'ly
You've been dreamin' of.
I'm envyin' you, it's true, and who
You chose for your love.

HARM:
Oh, if things were different
And we were both free,
If you weren't you and me, then he,
Y'know, could be me.
The suit and the money, 
the ties and the car --
And I'd have you sleeping in my arms --
But we're who we are.

BRIDGE: 
MAC:  Marine, this is stupid.
HARM: I shouldn't feel
BOTH: Like home's just a shadow, and work makes me real.
BOTH: Only my partner understands just who I am
(HARM: And I can't tell her, 'cause she's part of my problem.)
(MAC:  And I can't tell him, 'cause he's part of my problem.)

BOTH:
I got what I wanted --
An answer to prayer.
So why do I go, oh, so alone,
So close to despair?
Oh, all through my life I
Could stand by your side --
And if wishes were horses,
Beggars would ride.

CODA:
If wishes were horses,
If wishes were horses,
If wishes were horses,
Beggars would ride.
