Intro: D2///Em///G///A///

On a clear spring morning
It was the usual quiet moment
One expects to find
Within these adobe walls
You could hear whisperin' maidens
As their wishes were laden
Upon the vintage chair

Sister Maria softly said

If you believe in the impossible
Reach for the unreachable
Trust in the miracle of the Lord
Let his love and your reverence
Bless you with his presents
As light from the heavens
Touch the wishing chair

Em///G///A///

They say the Priest requested
While giving her his blessing
She’d sit for a time
And wish her heart’s desire
He saw in her expression
As she softly made her wantin’
Wishes do come true

She arose as if awakened
Of miracles in the makin'
From the velvet chair

Sister Maria softly said

If you believe in the impossible
Reach for the unreachable
Trust in the miracle of the Lord
Let his love and your reverence
Bless you with his presents
As light from the heavens
Touch the wishing chair

There is a legend
Of San Miguel Mission
And the wishing chair
