I Wish

I could tell by the way she held me (by the way she held me) She was looking for love (she was, she was) A beautiful woman living her life But how lonely she was (so alone, so alone) And I could tell by the way she glanced at me (I always caught her staring ) She was a little afraid Afraid of expressing her true feelings But her body language always gave it away (gave it away) (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 she dreamt of I wish I could be the one And I could tell by the conversations She was willing to grow (She was willing to grow) Take the timeout to learn some things And I'd take the time out to show And I could tell by the long goodbyes She never really wanted to leave me (She never really wanted to leave me) And I could tell you a lot of things I think I know But I won't be sure 'til she tells me (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 (Oh I wish) 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 she dreamt of I wish I could be the one Be the one Be the one Be the one
