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 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
