Lyrics
- I often wonder, would like to know
If you love only me
You have me guessing, and you know it too
That’s why I wish I knew
Chorus
I wish I knew you really loved me
I wish I knew it was true
I’d change the clouds to sunshine
I’d move the stars
I’d even move the moon
So we could be alone dear
Some day I know that you will tell me
You will be mine always
Still all I do is sit and wonder
Oh, how I wish I knew
- Each night I’m dreaming of future years
How happy we would be
All day I’m scheming, can’t hold back my tears
I’m like a ship at sea
