Vanessa Lee Carlton (born August 16, 1980 in Milford, Pennsylvania) is an American pop and rock singer, songwriter and pianist best known for the hit song "A Thousand Miles", a single from her platinum-selling debut album Be Not Nobody (2002). Although it is widely respected by her many fans, the follow up to this album, Harmonium, did not fare as well, selling only 179,000 copies. Her third album, tentatively titled "Heroes and Thieves," will be released mid to late 2007.

Wishin' And Hopin' Lyrics

Vanessa Carlton

Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' each night of his charms
That won't get you into his arms
So if you're thinkin' how great true love is
All you gotta do is hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it
And after you do,
...you will be his
show him that you care just for him
do the things he likes to do
wear your hair just for him, 'cause
you won't get him
thinkin' and a-prayin', wishin' and a-hopin'
'cause wishin' and hopin' and...
thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kisses will start
That won't get you into his heart
So if you're thinkin' of how great true love is
All you gotta do is hold him and kiss him and squeeze him and love him
Yeah, just do it
And after you do, you will be his
