 Oh, the sun  is shining  far too  bright
 For it  to  still be night
 Oh the air  feels so cold  so cold  and old
How  can it be light
 Oh let's take a walk outside
 See the world through each other's eyes
 I wish I was your only one
 I think you're beautiful but your hair is a mess
 And your shoes are untied, but that's what I love best
 And I,  I wish I was the one,
 You lonely, lonely son
 And you looked at me that way
 I wish for long  lingering glances
Fairytale  romances every  single day
 And you look  at me and say
 I'm your best  friend every day
 But I wish  for something, wish for something more
 Oh, I love  you like a friend but let's  not pretend
 How I wish  for something, wish for something more
 Oh the grass is so green
 But I can't see anything, past your eyes
 I'm fixated on your smile
 Your cherry lips make life worthwhile
 I'm thinking these things
 What I'm trying to say is
 Life gets in my way
 Every single day
 And I, I wish I was the one
 You lonely, lonely son
 And you looked at me that way
 I wish for long lingering glances
 Fairytale romances every single day
 And you look at me and say
 I'm your best friend every day
 But I wish for something, wish for something more
 Oh, I love you like a friend but let's not pretend
 How I wish for something, wish for something more
 Now the sun  is fading  and the rain  is coming down
 And I'm looking  at your face  but your looking  at the ground
 I see diamonds  in your dreams  I see pearls  around your neck
 I see everything  that's beautiful, everything  that's beautiful
 I wish I was the one
 You lonely, lonely son
 And you looked at me that way
 I wish for long lingering glances
 Fairytale romances every single day
 And you look at me and say
 I'm your best friend every day
 But I wish for something, wish for something more
 Oh, I love you like a friend but let's not pretend
 How I wish for something, wish for something more

Oh, the [Gm]sun is s[Dm]hini[C]ng far too[Gm] bright
For [Dm]it to[C] still be [Gm]night  [Dm]      [C]         [Gm]
Oh the [Gm]air feels so [Dm]cold[C] so [Gm]cold and [Dm]old [C]

Oh let's take a walk outside
See the world through each other's eyes
I wish I was your only one
I think you're beautiful but your hair is a mess
And your shoes are untied, but that's what I love best

And I,[Cm] I wish I was the [F]one,
You lonely, lonely [Dm]son
And you looked at me that [Gm]way
I wish for l[Cm]ong lingering glances
[F]Fairytale romances [Dm]every single [Gm]day
And you [Cm]look at me and say
I'm your [F]best friend every day
But I [Dm]wish for something, wish for something [Gm]more
Oh, I [Cm]love you like a friend but [F]let's not pretend
How I [Dm]wish for something, wish for something [Gm]more

Oh the grass is so green
But I can't see anything, past your eyes
I'm fixated on your smile
Your cherry lips make life worthwhile
I'm thinking these things
What I'm trying to say is
Life gets in my way
Every single day

And I, I wish I was the one
You lonely, lonely son
And you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances
Fairytale romances every single day
And you look at me and say
I'm your best friend every day
But I wish for something, wish for something more
Oh, I love you like a friend but let's not pretend
How I wish for something, wish for something more

Now the [Gm]sun is [Dm]fading and the [Gm]rain is coming [Dm]down
And I'm [Gm]looking at your [Dm]face but your [Gm]looking at the [Dm]ground
I see [Gm]diamonds in your [Dm]dreams I see [Gm]pearls around your [Dm]neck
I see [Gm]everything that's [Dm]beautiful, [Gm]everything that's [Dm]beautiful

I wish I was the one
You lonely, lonely son
And you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances
Fairytale romances every single day
And you look at me and say
I'm your best friend every day
But I wish for something, wish for something more
Oh, I love you like a friend but let's not pretend
How I wish for something, wish for something more
