I wish I could turn her voice into a song And play it for everyone to hear And it would sell out concerts But no one would sing along with it They would just listen Because her voice is so beautiful I wish I could turn her voice into a song But I can’t get the notes right And the lyrics don’t fit
I wish I could capture her beauty in a painting And display it in a gallery And everyone would come To gaze at the canvas Just to see how perfect I think she is Because I think she’s so close to it I wish I could capture her beauty in a painting But I can’t get the strokes right And the colors don’t fit
I wish I could turn her into a movie And it would play in every theater there is And everyone would buy a ticket To stare at a moving screen Just so they could see two hours of her life Because two hours seems like enough I wish I could turn her into a movie But I can’t get the lines right And the actors don’t fit
I wish I could turn her into a book And give them away as presents And everyone would tell their friends about it So they would go buy one Just so they could read what’s been written Because she is worth every page I wish I could turn her into a book But I can’t get the title right And the words don’t fit
I wish I could show her to our child And raise our daughter in her image And everyone could see her again And they would be happy And they’d know she’d be happy Because her daughter would be perfect Just like she was I wish I could show her to our child But the pictures all burned And I might never see her again
