I wish I was loved by you, my soul
I wish I was loved by you, but I know it's not possible

I wish I was loved by you, my soul
I wish I was loved by you, but I know it's not possible

I dream of you, my love, of the luxurious cars you drive, of the palaces you live in, of the planes you fly in
Ah, how I wish I could live that life with you, my one true love
But I know it's impossible

I dream of you, my love, of the luxurious cars you drive, of the palaces you live in, of the planes you fly in
Ah, how I wish I could live that life with you
My one true love
And our love would be unique, like a beautiful song, like a breathtaking sunset. Ah, ah, ah, my darling, don't you see?
My love for you is like the sun
But I know it's impossible

The rich and the poor, the young and the old, everyone wants to be happy
