Analysis of Come And Make A Wish



Come with me my special friend,
And walk ever so closely,
Know the meaning of true friendship,
Follow your soul that is free,

Pick a star, and make a wish,
A wish that shall come true,
It is ok whatever you wish,
That wish was made for you,

Toss a penny in a pond,
Watch the rippling motion,
Then ask but for only one wish,
When you get the notion,

Come along my special friend,
The stars are shining bright,
Know I am here awaiting you,
Clear throughout the night.
