For a Year and a Day

Music by Fred Rogers | Lyrics by Josie Carey

For a year and a day I've been wishing
For a year and a day I've been blue
When the sun goes away and the night comes to stay
Then I dream that my dreams come true

For a year and a day without missing
Every day like the day just before
If my dreams won't come true
Tell me what can I do
But just wish again one day more

Yes I'm sad but you see it's because
I want to be like the others
I'm not wishing for the moon
I'm just hoping that I'll soon be like the others

For a year and a day without missing
Every day like the day just before
If my dreams won't come true
Tell me what can I do
But just wish again one day more
