Lil	ADD: Song for the Mira (Allister MacGillivray)^^^ (40)	RE: Song for the Mira	20 Sep 98
How do people feel about changing the tense of verbs in songs? The refrain line is: "And I wish I was with them again." It correct grammar says it should be, "And I wish I were with them again" I suppose one can sing it however one wishes, but if I'm writing out the words for others to sing along, would it be wrong to correct the verb?
