Jimmie Rodgers - Years Ago lyrics
[Jimmie Rodgers - Years Ago lyrics]
One day I met a wizard, many years ago
He was very, very old he was very very wise
He told me a secret, many years ago:
How to live, how to love
How to win the golden prize
Tell 'em what the wizard says tell
'em what the wizard says
All you have to do is snap your fingers
Make a wish and snap your fingers
That's what you have to do
And your wishes will all come true
One day I met a
Maiden with honey-colored hair
There never was a maiden
So beautiful somewhere
The first time that I kissed her
I promised her my life
And I wondered how to win her
To win her for my wife
Remember what the wizard said remember
What the wizard said
All you have to do is snap your fingers
Make a wish and snap your fingers
That's what you have to do
And your wishes will all come true
The day that we were married
I remember it so well
I remember how I kissed her
As the orange blossom fell
I remember how I whispered as
I held her tenderly
Now that we are married we
Must raise a family
Remember what the wizard said remember
What the wizard said
All you have to do is snap your fingers
Make a wish and snap your fingers
That's what you have to do
And your wishes will all come true
Today we're all together, a family of four
The girl and boy I wished for
Are playing on the floor
And one day when they're older
I'll hold 'em on my knee
And I'll them the secret that
The wizard told to me
Tell 'em what the wizard said tell
'em what the wizard said
All you have to do is snap your fingers
Make a wish and snap your fingers
That's what you have to do
And your wishes will all come true
He was very, very old he was very very wise
He told me a secret, many years ago:
How to live, how to love
How to win the golden prize
Tell 'em what the wizard says tell
'em what the wizard says
All you have to do is snap your fingers
Make a wish and snap your fingers
That's what you have to do
And your wishes will all come true
One day I met a
Maiden with honey-colored hair
There never was a maiden
So beautiful somewhere
The first time that I kissed her
I promised her my life
And I wondered how to win her
To win her for my wife
Remember what the wizard said remember
What the wizard said
All you have to do is snap your fingers
Make a wish and snap your fingers
That's what you have to do
And your wishes will all come true
The day that we were married
I remember it so well
I remember how I kissed her
As the orange blossom fell
I remember how I whispered as
I held her tenderly
Now that we are married we
Must raise a family
Remember what the wizard said remember
What the wizard said
All you have to do is snap your fingers
Make a wish and snap your fingers
That's what you have to do
And your wishes will all come true
Today we're all together, a family of four
The girl and boy I wished for
Are playing on the floor
And one day when they're older
I'll hold 'em on my knee
And I'll them the secret that
The wizard told to me
Tell 'em what the wizard said tell
'em what the wizard said
All you have to do is snap your fingers
Make a wish and snap your fingers
That's what you have to do
And your wishes will all come true
