Half as Lovely (Twice as True)

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 ere someone who was half as lovely, twice as true.
