I Wish - Jesse Boykins III

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

I can tell by the way she glanced at me

I always caught her staring

She was a little afraid

So scared

Afraid of expressin her true feelings

But her body language always gave it away

Gave it away

I wish I could be the man she ran to

Man she ran too

I wish I could be the man she yearned for

She yearned for

I wish I could be the man she dreamt of

I wish I could be the one

Be the one

Now I could tell by the conversations

She was willing to grow

She was willing to grow

Take the time out to learn some things

And I'd take the time out to show

And I could tell by the long goodbyes

She say 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 wouldn't be sure till she tells me

Tells me

If only

She's given and gives herself to me

These visions are more than make believe

If only I had a chance

I wish to simply help her understand

I wish

We were more than friends

I wish too make the aching end

Oh I wish

I wish

I wish

I wish I could be the man she ran to

I wish I could be the man she yearned for

She yearned for only me

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
