I Wish
PAYNE Candie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish I could have loved you more
I wish I could have loved you more
I wish I could have loved you more
I wish I could have loved you more

And ever since that day
I had to say goodbye
How I long to change my mind
But I know it won't be right

And in so many ways
You were made to be my man
Why i had to make you cry
I hope you understand

I wish I could have loved you more

I wish I could have loved you more
I wish I could have loved you more
I wish I could have loved you more

And ever since that day
I had to say goodbye
How I long to change my mind
But I know it won't be right
And every since that day
I had to say goodbye





I wish I could have loved you more
I wish I could have loved you more

Absolutely fantastic! This fab song embodies real 60s spirit and is stunning beyond belief. I can’t believe Candy Payne isn’t more well known and deservedly revered. I of course snapped up a copy of this majestical single on 45 and thoroughly love spinning it when I deejay. Candy is dandy! 🤩🕺🏽💜
