Lyrics
Older
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wish that I was older
Old enough to be yours!
Hmmmm and I wish that I was wiser
Wise enough to be strong minded
To keep up with the words you say
That make me feel so young, oh
But I don’t know where this is going
I’ve just been hoping
And I can see by your smile that you’re glowing inside out!
Let’s not pretend like it’s not what it is
When I just started to realize
That I love you, uh, uh, uh!
And I wish that we were strangers
Strange enough to go unnoticed from this crowd!
And I wish that we were closer
Close enough for me to hold you
When your lonely nights become too long to bare!
But I don’t know where this is going
I’ve just been hoping
And I can see by your smile that you’re glowing inside out!
Let’s not pretend like it’s not what it is
When I just started to realize
That I love you, uh, uh, uh!
You hold your head up high, though it’s hard to, uh, uh
I can’t keep back, I know I just want you, uh, uh, uh
But I don’t know where this is going
I’ve just been hoping
And I can see by your smile that you’re glowing inside out!
Let’s not pretend like it’s not what it is
When I just started to realize
That I love you, uh, uh, uh!
