Baby, if wishes could be kisses
And dreams could make you mine
I wouldn't be a-sitting here
Wasting all this time
No, no, baby, if you call me
I'd race down the street
I'd be there so fast
You'd think I had wings on my feet
Oh, baby, if wishes could be kisses
I'd wish with all my mind
I wouldn't have to make believe
I'm in your arms tonight
No, no, baby
I could thrill you if you'd let me try
We'd take off together
And we'd tell this world goodbye
But I know it just can't be
Unless you feel the same as me, oh, yeah-heah
Baby, if wishes could be kisses
Then I'd be first in line
If I'm not wrong it won't take long
'Til you're my valentine
Oh, oh, baby, if you hear me
Make me know you do
If I'm lucky I'll find out
That you've been wishing too
A-come on, baby
A-come on, baby
If wishes could be kisses, oh, yeah
Oh, if wishes could be
Woah, baby, if you hear me
Make me know you do
If I'm lucky I'll find out
That you've been wishing too
A-come on, baby
Woah, come on, baby
If wishes could be kisses, now, yeah
If wishes could be kisses, yeah
Dusty Springfield, nome d'arte di Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien (Londra, 16 aprile 1939 – Henley-on-Thames, 2 marzo 1999), è stata una cantante britannica il cui impatto sulla storia del costume e della musica popolare britannica del XX secolo è paragonabile a quello che Mina ha avuto in Italia o Dalida ebbe in Francia. Mary è la secondogenita di Gerard e Catherine (Kay) O'Brien, immigrati irlandesi stabilitisi in uno dei quartieri operai della periferia nord di Londra. Cresce nel sobborgo di Ealing e già da bambina si guadagna il soprannome di Dusty per il suo atteggiamento da maschiaccio. Eredita la passione per la musica dal nonno materno, che la incoraggia ad ascoltare autori come George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter, Count Basie, Duke Ellington e Glenn Miller. Il suo modello musicale da ragazzina è Peggy Lee. Nel 1958 lascia la scuola e, rispondendo a un annuncio su un giornale, si unisce al gruppo delle Lana Sisters. Grazie a questa esperienza impara l'armonia vocale e il lavoro di palcoscenico. Nel 1960 inizia la sua carriera solista con il nome d'arte Dusty Springfield, ottenendo subito successo con brani come "I Only Want to Be with You" e "Stay Awhile". Nel corso degli anni '60 e '70 raggiunge fama internazionale grazie a album come "Dusty in Memphis" (1969), considerato un capolavoro del soul britannico. La sua voce potente, il suo stile elegante e la sua capacità di interpretare brani pop, soul e rhythm and blues con grande sensibilità l'hanno resa una delle artiste più ammirate della sua generazione. Dusty Springfield è stata anche una pioniera per le donne nella musica, sfidando i canoni di genere e ottenendo un successo duraturo nonostante le difficoltà del mondo musicale.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
