If your eyes were half as bright
They still would light my way
If your heart were twice as true
Then you'd be mine today
That's why I often wish
That you were half as lovely, twice as true
I'm only one of those
Who thinks of you and sighs
Just another who knows
Your laughter and lies
I wish that you were someone
Who was half as lovely, twice as true
I love you, I love you, too much it seems
For any fool can see
With your heart so crowded with other dreams
How can you dream of me?
Though I pray the gods of love
Will make you care, somehow
Still I know the odds of love
Are all against me now
But I might stand a chance
If you were half as lovely, twice as true
Maybe, if your loveliness were not so heavenly
Maybe then I might possess the only one for me
I wish you were someone
Who was half as lovely, twice as true
