Cover art for I Wish lyrics by Stevie Wonder

Boy, I thought that at least THIS site's lyric page would have the lyrics right: For the record it's...

'Greeted at the back door, with "Boy- I thought I told you not to go outside??!!" '

As to the song itself, just another genius contribution to US music made by Stevie Wonder, who crammed in a lifetime of songwriting achievements in about 5 years. Slugs, Sista and UrbanLAPixie pretty much nail the feel. Wondrous wedding of the perfect melody to the perfect lyric conjuring a perfect mood. How can a song be so wistful and UP at the same time? Magic. Damn, Stevie, thank you again.
