THREE WISHES

If fate smiles upon me

And bestows upon me three wishes,

I will wish only for you

Without a second thought.

I will wish that you love me

The same way I love you—

And that I be found in the center

Of your dreams, the same way you are in mine.

If I have you, I have life in abundance.

If I have you, I have endless peace

And joy that darkness cannot take way.

If I have you, I have love

That is patient and kind.

If I have you, what else do I need?

I search and search...

Aye! I search the heaven and earth

And I could find nothing compared to you.

I will use only one of them

And give out the other two—

Though my dreams are vast and wide,

They can all be answered by one wish.

All the dreams that I had ever dreamt

And all the vision that I had ever seen

To make my wish come to fruition

Are all centered around you.

I have only one life,

A life I only want to spend with you.
