Wanting You (From The New Moon)
Mario Lanza · Other Songs - Mario Lanza
And you are that someone
You know the truth of my story
You must believe what you see
I too may someday love someone
From somewhere there'll come, one
One who will hear the same story
That you're telling me
Wanting you everyday, I am wanting you
Every night I am longing to
Hold you close to my eager breast
Wanting Lord in that heaven I'm dreaming of
Makes that heaven seem far above
Any hope that I've gained my quest
Dreams are big, but I cling to a nearest trance
That you may hear me
Dreams are being, for whenever I wake
I never find you near me, wanting you
Nothing else in this world will do
In this world you are all that I adore, all I adore
