Half as Lovely (Twice as True) (with John Scott Trotter & His Orchestra)
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 one who knows
Your laughter and your 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
I love you, too much it seems
With your heart so crowded with other dreams
How can you dream of me?
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
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 one who knows
Your laughter and your 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
I love you, too much it seems
With your heart so crowded with other dreams
How can you dream of me?
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
