I Wish You Love
Tony DeSare Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in July, a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health, but more than wealth
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm;
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm;
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
I wish, I wish, oh I wish,
I wish, I wish, I wish you love
