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 am only one of those
Who thinks of you and sighs
Just another one who knows
Your laughter and your 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 above
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 that you were someone
Who was half as lovely
Twice as true
