I wish I could give my heart to you
   on a plate of gold
I wish I could give to you my soul
  for your hand to hold
I wish I could let you hear my thoughts
  and truly understand
I wish I could let you save me
  and lend a helping hand
I wish I could open your eyes
  to all the things I see
I wish I could let you show me
  the beauty inside me
I wish I were a teddy bear
  you held when you were upset
I wish I were a keepsake
  or a favorite pet
I wish I were an angel
  I would help you fly
I wish I were a poem
  you'd read and softly cry
I wish I could promise you
  we shall never part
I wish I could tell you
  "I'll never break your heart"
I wish I could open you
  and let myself inside
I wish I could back down
  without hurting my pride
I wish I could believe you
  when you say "I love you, dear"
I wish you would allow me
  to really hold you near
I wish I were a star
  I'd shine upon your soul
I wish I could shut my eyes
  to the reality by which I'm surround'd
I wish I could manage
  to keep my feet upon the ground
I wish I could see the future
  just to know this wouldn't end
I wish I could go a year
  without losing a close friend
I wish I were
  but I know I'm not
I wish I were the key
  to the lock inside your heart
I wish I were the glue
  that kept you form falling apart
I wish I could admit
  that sometimes I am wrong
I wish that you were right
  when you said that I was strong
I wish I were a castle
  standing tall beside the sea
I wish I were everything
  that you think I can be
I wish I were your home
  that sheltered you from the storm
I wish I were the fire
  by which you'd rest to warm
I wish I had a penny
  for all the days I've wasted
I wish I had sympathy
  for those I've never tasted
I wish I could
  when I know I can't
I wish that I could keep up
  but all I do is pant
I wish my heart were stronger
  so I could let you know
I wish I had the words
  or maybe a way to show
I wish I had skin of silk
  and eyes as deep as oceans
I wish I were a fortune teller
  with my many potions
I wish I were a fairy
  I'd grant you every wish
I wish I were the lips
  that each day you'd long to kiss
I wish I have the heart
  to tell others my thoughts
I wish I had the stomach
  to suffer from the costs
I wish that you could hear me
  when I cry on the inside
I wish you saw my feelings
  I'd have no reason to hide
I wish I were a butterfly
  coasting on the breeze
I wish I didn't panic
  when life gives me a squeeze
I wish that I could lighten up
  and laugh the day away
I wish that I believed
  your heart would never stray
I wish that you could comfort me
  but I'm afraid to allow it
I wish I had a thrown of glass
  upon which I would sit
I wish I had my senses
  or someone to knock them in
I wish I had my innocence
  I'd keep 't through thick and thin
I wish I were the queen
  during the golden years I'd reign
I wish I could a thunder cloud
  over you my soul would rain
I wish... I wish.... I wish you could see
