Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)
"Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)" is a 1982 song by A Flock of Seagulls, the opening song and only hit single from their second album Listen. The song exemplifies "synth-pop's spaced-out loneliness" and yearning for imagined absent lovers, and is noted for its Wall of Sound-styled layer of synthesizer padding – a "multi-layered, hypnotic song", according to AllMusic.
Unlike the band's 1982 hit "I Ran (So Far Away)", largely a United States and Australian hit, "Wishing" performed strongly in Great Britain and reached the Top 10; in the US it reached the top 40 on the U.S. Billboard charts in summer 1983. In South Africa, it was enormously popular, reaching the no. 8 position.

Wishing (Martine McCutcheon album)
Wishing is the second solo album by English actress-singer Martine McCutcheon. It was released in November 2000 and peaked at #25 in the UK Albums Chart.
Two singles were lifted from the album, both of which charted within the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart. "I'm Over You" peaked at #2 on 4 November 2000 and "On the Radio", a cover of the 1979 Donna Summer song, charted at #7 in February 2001. Plans for a third single were scrapped when McCutcheon won the lead role in the West End production of My Fair Lady in early 2001.

Wishing
by: EverclearStanding outside your door
I look crazy to the world
I have been to this place before
The right guy for the wrong girl
I wish I could wake up from a dream that
I just don't want to believe
Now I'm sitting here waiting for you
And I know you're walking away from me
I don't want to say the words
That everyone seems to know
I put you in every room with me
You are everywhere I go
I wish I could wake up from a dream that
I just don't want to believe
That I gave a beautiful freak like you
Power and control all over me
Please don't leave me
Please don't go
I don't want to be alone
Wishing don't count for much
When that thing you won is gone
I refuse to believe in luck
Not when it comes to my love
I wish I could wake up from a dream that
I just don't want to believe
That all the bad things I've done in my life
Are coming back to torture me
Please don't leave me
Baby please don't go
I don't want to be alone
Please don't leave me
Baby please don't go
I don't know how to be alone
One Two Three
You walked into my life
Like you walked into a crowd
I obsessed on how you obsessed on me
I wish that I could see what you saw in me
All the things you said you liked so much
And other things you say you hate
Yeah now all I want to do is start over again
And all I want to do is try to make you want to stay
I'm sorry this sounds so lame
But you... way too late
Just tell me what I need to say
That'll make you want to stay
Please don't leave me
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't tell me that it's time for you to go
Please don't leave me
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't tell me that it's time for you to go
I don't know how to be alone
I don't know how to be alone
I don't know how to be alone
Please don't be cruel
Please don't do to me
