I Wish I Were So Lucky
by Thomas J. Smith
I'd get to hold your hand
as we walked side by side
I'd be the one you loved to be with
every day and night
Only if I were so lucky
would I get to call you mine
If I were so lucky
could I hold you o' so near
To be the one that's there
to wipe away your every tear
To make you smile every day
year after year after year
If only was I this lucky
I only dream of how it would be
I'd gently kiss your perfect lips
and gaze at your true beauty
I dream about it endlessly
I wish I were so lucky
