I’ve called you a thousand times
But you’re never at home,
Wonder where you are at night
Wonder if you’re alone.
I’m afraid you don’t need me
The way that I need you
Cause everything I do
Is all out of love for you.

If only I could,
If only you would,
Let me love you.
If only I may,
If only I might,
Love you tonight.

Been ‘round you’re house day and night
But you are never there,
I dream of you all the time
Wonder if you still care.
Looking out the window
The rain begins to fall
Wonder if I should call
You’re my greatest love of all.

If only I could,
If only you would,
Let me love you.
If only I may,
If only I might,
Love you tonight.

If only I could,
If only you would,
Let me love you.
If only I may,
If only I might,
Love you tonight.

This sounds kinda like a song!   I like it, especially the parts that sort of resemble the star light star bright part.  Good job!
