I Wish I Knew Lyrics

Music: Harry Warren
Lyrics: Mack Gordon
Premiere: 1945

Verse:

Is this the night I've waited, oh, so long for?
Is this my dream at last come true?
Are you the one my heart has saved its song for?
How can I tell?
I wish I knew;

Chorus:

I wish I knew someone like you could love me,
I wish I knew you place no one above me;
Did I mistake this for a real romance?
I wish I knew, but only you can answer.
If you don't care, why let me hope and pray so,
Don't lead me on, if I'm a fool, just say so.
Should I keep dreaming on or just forget you?
What shall I do?
I wish I knew.
