Half As Lovely (Twice As True)

Lyricist:    

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
