You took all the hurt away

When my heart was down

Showed me I was beautiful

And made me smile

Always so dependable

A treasure seldom found

There is much in you to be admired

Now you're wanting happiness

To be evermore

And I should be happy

And even overjoyed

But my heart is telling me

Deep inside I know

Best of friends is as far as we go

If only I could be in love

Like you want me too, oh

Life would be so fine

If only all the love in your heart for me

Could be here for you in mine

I know how it feels inside

To have love unreturned

I know that it seems your love

Will forever burn

How I wish that I could be

The way you were for me

And give you all the things

That your heart needs

If only I could be in love

Like you want me too, oh

Then your eyes would not cry

If only all the love that you feel for me

I could feel for you inside

There's nothing I can do

I'm not in love with you
