I Wish Lyrics

I could tell by the way she held me
She was looking for love
A beautiful woman living her life
But how lonely she was
And I could tell by the way she glanced at me
She was a little afraid
Afraid of expressing her true feelings
But her body language always gave it away
I wish I could be the man she ran to
I wish I could be the man she yearned for
I wish I could be the man dreamt of
I wish I could be the one

I could tell by the conversations
She was willing to grow
Take the timeout to learn things
And I'd take the timeout to show
I could tell by the long goodbyes
She never really wanted to leave me
I could tell you a lot of things I think I know
But I won't be sure til she tells me
If Only she'd give in and give herself to me
I wish these visions were more than make believe
If only I had a chance
I'd wish to simply help her stand
If only we were more than friends
I'd wish to make the aching end
If only she could see
I wish , If Only
I wish I could be the man she ran to
I wish I could be the man she yearned for
I wish I could be the man dreamt of
I wish I could be the one
