From the recording Sometimes the Characters...
Sometimes who you wish to is who you are wishing for. We recorded this on the coldest night of winter 1999 at Sigma Sound with our friend Gordon Rice. I love Joe's singing here.

Lyrics
Jeanie
(© l993 Joe McAvoy & Don McAvoy, MMP, Inc., ASCAP)
* If I had three wishes to make from a genie
One thing's for sure I'd wish for you
I'd wish we'd live our lives for each other and no one else
Then love would conquer everything in our way
I'd pray that every dream we had came
true one way or another
And everyone who doubted us would see' . . that
*** We've got something special
and we won't let it slip away
They can laugh if they want to that's all right,
it's gonna be OK
Just remember Jeanie when I tell you that I love you
I'm gonna love you Jeanie. . . until the end
* Something I'd like to do is sail the open seas
With you by my side Jeanie, what else could there be?
You opened my eyes, you taught me how to [eel
You made me realize Jeanie, our love is real
