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
