Mr. Wishing Well Lyrics

(Wishing well, Mr. wishing well
Wishing well, wishing well)

I was standing by the
Wishing well (wishing well)
Feeling all alone and blue
I dropped a penny in the
Wishing well (wishing well)
Wishing for a dream come true

Then down, down went the penny
Right next to all the many others
That lovers had thrown

Won't you help me
Mr. wishing well (wishing well)?
Is it too much that I ask
Just a penny's worth of
Happiness (happiness)?
Is that far too great a task?

Please, send me a
Bundle full of paradise
Make her wonderful and very nice
I'm depending on you
To make my wish come true
(Well, wishing well)

Then I looked up from the
Wishing well (wishing well)
And was I surprised to see
Someone standing by the
Wishing well (wishing well)
Looking just as sad as me

Then our eyes met
What a feeling; I found her
Now I really wanna
Thank you, thank you
Mr. wishing well

(Wishing well, wishing well)
Thank you, Mr. wishing well
(Wishing well, Mr. wishing well)
Thank you, Mr. wishing well
(Wishing well, wishing well)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
