If I Had A Wish

Petra Berger


Sisi, I know you're sad 
Through all the hurt you've had 
I can't make it right 
Can't win your fight 
Although I'd like to 

You married far too young 
You were a precious one 
He stole you away 
A new role to play 
The empress of Austria 
If I had a wish 
I wouldn't miss 
My chance to say 

Sisi I'd braid your hair 
Brush away all despair 
You flirted with death 
To take your last breath 
And lead you to heaven 

Sisi it makes me sad 
You had your babies too 
Taken away from you 
How did you survive 
So long in that life 
I couldn't do it 
Let's dream that you'll be 
Barefoot and free 
With all your children 

Sisi I'd braid your hair 
Brush away all despair
