Half As Lovely (Twice As True)
Composer(s): Sammy Gallop; Lew Spence
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



If your eyes were half as bright, they still would light my way
If your heart were twice as true then you'd be mine today
That's why I often wish that you were half as lovely, twice as true
I'm only one of those who thinks of you and sighs
Just another who knows your laughter and lies
I wish that you were someone who was half as lovely, twice as true
I love you, I love you, too much it seems, for any fool can see
With your heart so crowded with other dreams, how can you dream of me?
Though I pray the gods of love will make you care, somehow
Still I know the odds of love are all against me now
But I might stand a chance if you were half as lovely, twice as true
Maybe, if your loveliness were not so heavenly
Maybe then I might possess the only one for me
I wish you ere someone who was half as lovely, twice as true
