I Wish I Had Someone To Love

I wish I had someone to love me

Someone to call me his own

Someone to sleep with me nightly

I'm weary of sleeping alone

Meet me tonight in the moonlight

Meet me tonight all alone

I have a sad story to tell you

I'm telling it under the moon

I wish I had someone to love me

Someone to call me his own

Someone to sleep with me nightly

I'm weary of sleeping alone

Tonight is our last night together

Nearest and dearest must part

The love that has bound us together

Is shredded and torn apart

I wish I had someone to love me

Someone to call me his own

Someone to sleep with me nightly

I'm weary of sleeping alone

I wish I had ships on the ocean

Kind them with silver and gold

Follow the ship that he sails in

A lad of nineteen years old

I wish I had someone to love me

Someone to call me his own

Someone to sleep with me nightly

I'm weary of sleeping alone

I wish I had wings of a swallow

Fly out over the sea

Fly to the arms of my true love

And bring him home safely to me

I wish I had someone to love me

Someone to call me his own

Someone to sleep with me nightly

I'm weary of sleeping alone

I'm weary of sleeping alone
