I'd Live in Your Heart

I wish I was pretty,
I wish I was smart,
I wish I was amazing,
Then I'd live in your heart.

I'd love to be taller,
I'd love to be braver,
I'd love to be sweeter,
Then you'd want me & not her.

I want to be more happy,
I want a life with content,
I want a man to love me,
One whose "heaven sent".

If only you would notice,
If only you would care,
If only for a moment,
The intensity of my stare.

If only I could hold you,
If only for a short talk,
If only you would listen,
We could take a long walk.

If only I had met you,
If only you had met me,
If only for a second,
would be an eternity.

If I was part of your soul,
If I was part of your heart,
If I was part of your mind,
Then we could make a start.

You are part of my dreams,
You are a prayer each morning I wake,
You know that I would tell you,
But there's way too much at stake.
