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

I love you, I love you
Too much it seems
 
With your heart so crowded with other dreams
How can you dream of me

Maybe, if your loveliness
Were not so heavenly,
Maybe then I might possess
The only one for me

I wish that you were someone who
Was half as lovely, twice as true.
