    Lyrics:
    I wish you love - and happiness
    I guess I wish - you all the best
    I wish you don't - do like I do
    And never fall in love with someone like you
    Cause if you fell - just like I did
    You'd probably walk around the block like a little kid
    But kids don't know - they can only guess
    How hard it is - to wish you happiness
    I guess that love - is like a Christmas card
    You decorate a tree - you throw it in the yard
    It decays and dies - and the snowmen melt
    Well, I once knew love - I knew how love felt
    Yeah I knew love - love knew me
    And when I walked - love walked with me
    And I got no hate - and I got no pride
    Well, I got so much love that I cannot hide
    Yeah, I got so much love that I cannot hide
    Say you drive a Chevy - say you drive a Ford
    Say you drive around the town 'till you just get bored
    Then you change you mind - for something else to do
    And your heart gets bored with your mind and it changes you
    Well it's a doggone shame - and it's an awful mess
    I wish you love - I wish you happiness
    I wish you love - I wish you happiness
    I guess I wish - you all the best

    I often watch this performance. It makes me wonder how many fans he made that night. Many had probably never heard John. When you love Prine, it's impossible to imagine hearing him live and not becoming one of us. Miss you Old Friend, thank God you left us so much.

      Absolutely man, I never heard so many people say they cried on the terrible news and pretty much every time we hear him since. I cry too , and sadly his great friend and Guitar accompanying (1980's and some 90's, plus lots of guest appearances) "Clontarf Cowboy" Philip Donnelly passed just a few months before John . I hope they all in a great place . ❤️❤️🙏☘️

Will never forgot the concerts I was fortunate enough to attend. Thanks John. You were truly a great guy.
