"Wishing" - Original lyrics by Defiant. Inspired by Pet Shop Boys' "Nervously". Dedicated to the gay community. Open to anyone interested in singing it.
I...
Wish that I could hold you tight
Caress your face like the breeze does
Contour your lips as you smile
But these are the things that I do in my mind
From across the table in a crowded restaurant
Always wishing, and never fulfilling
Our desire to express our love like they do
But they are simply not ready for our love
They are simply not ready for our love.
(Chorus)
If I could fly (if I could fly)
I’d take you with me (I’d take you with me)
I’d show you the world all around us
And give you the stars high above (above)
But as long as fantasies are just that
I’ll have to be content just to know
That the only thing I can give you
Is my heart.
I…
Wish I could embrace you tight
And guard your dreams under moonlight
Make love to you under the stars!
But these are the things that I do in my mind
While locking our gaze as we walk on by
Always wishing, and never fulfilling
Our desire to express our love like they do
But they are simply not ready for our love
They are simply not ready for our love.
(Chorus)
If I could fly (if I could fly)
I’d take you with me (I’d take you with me)
I’d show you the world all around us
And give you the stars high above (above)
But as long as fantasies are just that
I’ll have to be content just to know
That the only thing I can give you
Is my heart.
-Bridge-
So I…
Wish you stood by me tonight
Desires free and true, at last
Making love under the stars
And I…
Wish I could keep you in my arms
A friend, a lover, an equal
With worries gone, and hopes survived!
But these are just wishes we hold deep inside
While tightly embraced hoping no one minds
Always wishing, and never fulfilling
Our desire to express out love like they do
But sadly they are not ready for our love
They are simply not ready for our love
(Chorus)
If I could fly (if I could fly)
I’d take you with me (I’d take you with me)
I’d show you the world all around us (aaaaah-aaah-aah)
And give you the stars high above (above)
But as long as fantasies are just that
I’ll have to be content just to know
That the only thing I can give you
The only thing I can give you
That the only thing I can give you
Is my heart (is my heart)
Is my heart (is my heart)
Is my heart (is my heart)
Is my heart
