Some wish for riches some for gold
Some for happiness untold
All the things to make their future bright and gay
I don't want diamonds pearls or gold
I don't wish for wealth untold
I only wish I didn't love you so

I have wished upon the stars
Wishing wealth from near and far
But they never seem to help me find the way
For I still love you and I know
That your love for me won't hold
I only wish I didn't love you so

I guess my wishing been in vain
For I have loved through this pain
The long and lonesome lonely heartaches do I feel

If my love for you should go
Then I love no more I know
I only wish I didn't love you so
