Wish That I Could Tell You

Babyface · A Love Story [2004]

I wish that I could tell you

How I really feel

I wish you could believe my love for you is real

All I know is, I ain't much without you

You really are the better part of me, yes



Chorus:

No matter how it goes (no matter how it goes)

Girl I want you to know

You're my moon, river, my dreammaker

My soulmate, you're like gold

A beautiful

beautiful

oooh baby



Wish that I could change the way things might have been

I wish we could start over and fall in love again

All I know is I wont ever doubt you

I wanna live (wanna live) inside your heart again



ohhh



Chorus:

No matter how it goes (no matter how it goes)

Girl I want you to know

You're my moon, river, my dreammaker

My soulmate, you're like gold

A beautiful

beautiful

oooh baby



ohhh

You're my moon, river, my dreammaker

my soulmate, you're like gold

ohhhh

You're my moon, river, my dreammaker

my soulmate, you're like gold

a beautiful (oh yeah)



I wish that I could tell you how I really feel.
