I Wish You Love
Stefano Bollani & Ares Tavolazzi Lyrics

Gee, but it's tough to be broke, kid.
It's really hard to be financially broke, child.

It's not a joke, kid, it's a curse.
This isn't something to be taken lightly, child; it's like a spell.

My luck is changing, it's gotten from simply rotten to something worse
Things are turning around for me, but not in the way I had hoped.

Who knows, some day I will win too. I'll begin to reach my prime.
It's possible that I'll get lucky and be successful in the future, and that's when I'll shine.

Now though I see what our end is, All I can spend is just my time.
At this moment, I understand our fate and can only give you my time.

I can't give you anything but love, baby. That's the only thing I've plenty of,baby.
The only thing I can promise you is my love, my dear.

Dream awhile, scheme awhile. We're sure to find Happiness and I guess All those things you've always pined for.
Let's dream for a while, plot our future, and I've bet we'll find what you've always desired.

Gee I'd like to see you looking swell, baby. Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby.
I'd love to see you looking fabulous, dear, and with jewelry that no cheap store can provide.

Till that lucky day you know darned well, baby. I can't give you anything but love.
Until that day when we've struck gold, you understand all I can offer is my love.

Rome wasn't built in a day, kid. You have to pay, kid, for what you get.
It takes time and effort to build great things, child. What you get is commensurate what you pay for it.

But I am willing to wait, dear, Your little mate, dear, will not forget.
I'm willing to be patient, my love, and I won't forget that we're in this together.

You have a lifetime before you. I'll adore you, come what may.
You have your whole life ahead of you, and I'll love you, no matter what happens.

Please don't be blue for the present, When it's so pleasant to hear you say
Don't feel sad for now, dear, because hearing you talk is so delightful.
