If I had half an unspent wish
I wonder how I’d spend it
If I had half an unspent wish
I’d wish for half a moment
To breathe the same air as you
Again
If I had half an unspent wish
I’d wish for half a day
To spend it doing what you
Enjoy
If I had half an unspent wish
I’d wish for half a year
To tell you all the ways
You matter to me
If I had half an unspent wish
I’d wish for half a lifetime
To show you how much
I love you
If I had half an unspent wish
I’d wish for half of eternity
To spend it all
With you
If I had half an unspent wish
I’d spend it all on you
