Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, the sun is shinin' far too bright
For it to still be night
Oh, the air feels so cold, so cold and old
How can it be light?
Oh, let's take a walk outside
See the world through each other's eyes
I wish I was your only one
I think you're beautiful, but your hair is a mess
And your shoes are untied
But that's what I love best
[Verse 2]
And I, I wish I was the one
You lonely, lonely, son
And you looked at me that way
I wish for long, lingering glances
Fairy tale romances
Every single day
And you look at me and say
I'm your best friend, every day
But I wish for somethin', wish for somethin' more
Oh, I love you like a friend
But let us not pretend
How I wish for somethin', wish for somethin' more
[Verse 3]
And, oh, the grass is so green
But I can't see anythin' past your eyes
I'm fixated on your smile
Cherry lips make life worthwhile
I'm thinkin' these things, what I'm tryin' to say
Is life gets in my way
Every single day
[Verse 4]
And I, I wish I was the one
You lonely, lonely, son
And you looked at me that way
I wish for long, lingering glances
Fairy tale romances
Every single day
And you look at me and say
I'm your best friend, every day
But I wish for somethin', wish for somethin' more
Oh, I love you like a friend
But let us not pretend
How I wish for somethin', wish for somethin' more
[Verse 5]
Now, the sun is fadin'
All the rain is comin' down
And I'm lookin' at your face
And you're lookin' at the ground
I see diamonds in your dreams
I se pearls around your neck
I see everythin' that's beautiful
Oh, everythin' that's beautiful
[Verse 6]
I wish I was the one
You, lonely, lonely son
And you looked at me that way
I wish for long, lingering glances
Fairy tale romances
Every single day
And you look at me and say
I'm your best friend, every day
But I wish for somethin', wish for somethin' more
Oh, I love you like a friend
But let's not pretend
How I wish for somethin', wish for somethin' more
