Words and Music: Irene Hartfield
Chorus:
Oh, I WISH YOU COULD BE
The one for me
I wish like in the movies we were meant to be
Coming halfway ’round the world to meet
Me in the air, you on your feet
Why can’t you be the one, the one for me?
When I met you
We were sailing all our cares away
Now to forget you
Will take hours of my days away
I wish I didn’t have to go
I wish I didn’t love you so
I wish that you could be the one for me
CHORUS
I love you
It feels so good, it hurts so bad
I’ll always love you
It’s the best romance I ever had
I wish you weren’t so very sure
That you were going to marry her
I wish that you could be the one for me
Bridge:
The open sea
And you and me
Why can’t it be
Our destiny?
CHORUS
