I wish I could love you
The way that you need to be loved.
I wish I could give you
The love that you need in your life.
I wish I could just make
You happy throughout every day.
Darling, I wish that I could,
But I just can’t love you enough.
I long for the nights when
I know that you’ll be in my arms.
I long for the darkness
To softly surround us till dawn.
I long for the moment
When you’ll feel the same thing I do.
Darling, I’ve tried to be good,
But I just can’t love you enough.
I just can’t love you enough
And you know I have tried.
I just can’t please you much more
So I’ll just say goodbye.
