I Only Wish
By Webb Pierce
C
Some wish for riches some for gold
G7
Some for happiness untold
C
All the things to make their future bright and gay
I don't want diamonds pearls or gold
C7 F
I don't wish for wealth untold
C G7 C
I only wish I didn't love you so
I have wished upon the stars
G7
Wishing wealth from near and far
C
But they never seem to help me find the way
For I still love you and I know
C7 F
That your love for me won't hold
C G7 C
I only wish I didn't love you so
I guess my wishing been in vain
G7
For I have loved through this pain
C
The long and lonesome lonely heartaches do I feel
If my love for you should go
C7 F
Then I love no more I know
C G7 C
I only wish I didn't love you so
