Wanting You
Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Shirley Jones & Jack Cassidy;
and various other artists



Jack:
My heart is aching for someone
And you are that someone
You know the truth of my story
You must believe what you see

Shirley:
I, too, may someday love someone
From somewhere there'll come one
One who will hear the same story
That you're telling me.

Jack:
Wanting you, every day I am wanting you
Every night I am longing to
Hold you close to my eager breast

Shirley:
Wanting love, in that heaven I'm dreaming of
Makes that heaven seem far above
Any hope that I'll gain my quest

Both:
Dreams are vain, but I cling to the
Merest chance that you may hear me
Dreams are vain, 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
