Why can't I find someone to love me, do I really ask that much

I just want to be held at night, by a gentle loviing touch

I don't need material things, for their meaning is empty and lame

They only create an obstruction in life, putting pressure as if its a game

I wish for  someone to be here when I need a helping hand

I wish for someone to lean on when alone I can not stand

I wish for someone to share with all lifes pleasure and the pain

I wish for someone to hold hands with as we travel down this lane

I wish for someone to look at me with eyes that say I love you

I wish for someone to be proud but me, of all the things I do

I wish for a heart to love me, till the day we die

I wish for someone to hold me close as we look at the stars in the sky

I wish for someone to find the time, to see the simple things in life

I wish for someone to need me as a woman not a wife

I wish for someone to be happy, to return to our home each day

I wish for someone to grow old with, get wrinkled and turn grey

I wish for someone to share secrets with, and share as my dreams all come true

I wish for someone to believe and trust in, for these people are so few

So am I asking for the impossible, why is true love so hard to find

Is there really such a feeling, is my heart just searching blind

To find something that doesn't exist, should I just give up all hope

And learn to live a lonely life, with sadness I will cope

I don’t need someones money, for I’m strong enough to stand alone

I don’t need to hear promises, for they can turn a heart to stone

All that I am searching for, is someone proud to share these things

To share in a love that’s within their heart, without the binding strings

So God above please hear my prayer, life’s short and I want to feel

A love that’s true, a happiness, the feeling that’s so surreal
