This is the score of the song “I’m Wishing” published by Irving Berlin Inc. in 1937 and composed by Frank Churchill for the music and Larry Morey for the lyrics. The American rights holders are mentioned on the cover: Irving Berlin Inc. Music Publishers 799 Seventh Avenue, New York, N.Y., to whom Walt Disney has granted the rights to exploit the film’s music. It is the seventh song in the film after “Some Day My Prince Will Come” in the numbering of the scores. The back cover encourages the purchase of “Whistle While You Work”, “With a Smile and a Song” and “One Song”, offering the first notes of each song.
The lyrics are slightly different from those in the film, in that the introduction has been changed and the wordless vocals replaced by lyrics. These lyrics were used for most recordings and performances of the song throughout the 20th century.
