King of wishful thinking

A beautiful new love song.

King of wishful thinking
By Michelle Morris

I'm the king of wishful thinking
Dreaming that I could make you mine
The king of wishful thinking
Dreaming about you all the time

I'm the king of wishful thinking
I guess I'll just love you from afar
The king of wishful thinking
Forever a lonely, lonely star

My eyes try to look away
My heart tries not to skip a beat
My body tries hard not to tremble
My smile tries hard not to speak

I have this conversation with you
Every time, every day, every moment 
I show you without saying the words
How much I want you to stay

But, I know that you're off limits
(For now, for now, for now)
And I know there's no committing
(For now, for now, for now)

So, I'll just keep on wishing
(For now, for now, for now)
And I'll just keep on loving you 
(For now, for now, for now)

Because...

I'm the king of wishful thinking
Dreaming that I could make you mine
The king of wishful thinking
Dreaming about you all the time

I'm the king of wishful thinking
I guess I'll just love you from afar
The king of wishful thinking
Forever a lonely, lonely star

My eyes don't want to look away
My heart wants to embrace the beats
My body wants to feel the tremble
My smile wants to let me speak

One day I'll have this (real) conversation with you
Will it be this time, this day, this moment?
Express my heartfelt emotions
How much I want you to stay - for good

When we accept our heart's longing
When we hold each other near
When we kiss deeply and with reverence
Allow our souls to be entwined forever

So, I'll no longer keep wishing
(Forever, forever, forever)
We'll keep on loving each other 
(Forever, forever, forever)

Because...

I'm no longer the king of wishful thinking
Dreaming that I could make you mine
The king of wishful thinking
Dreaming about you all the time

I'm no longer the king of wishful thinking
I guess I'll just love you right here, right here
The king of wishful thinking
Forever a star that shines brightly

I'm no longer the king of wishful thinking
Dreaming that I could make you mine
The king of wishful thinking
Dreaming about you all the time

I'm no longer the king of wishful thinking
I guess I'll just love you right here, right here
The king of wishful thinking
Forever a star that shines brightly
