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.
