My only wish, if it comes true
Would be to spend my life with you
I'd give my heart and all my love
If you would only love me too

What would it take to make you love me
Like I love you
I'd do anything to bring you closer to me

My only wish, if it comes true
Would be to spend my life with you

What would it take to love me
Like I love you
I'd do anything to bring you closer to me

My only wish, if it comes true
Would be to spend my life with you
I'd give my heart and all my love
If you will only love me too

My only wish, if it comes true
Would be to spend my life with you
I'd give my heart and all my love
Please say that you will love me too
