I Wish You Love

Goodbye, no use leading with our chins,
This is where our story ends,
Never lovers, ever friends;
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day,
But before you walk away,
I sincerely want to say---
I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing,
And then a kiss, but more than this,
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade,
I wish you health,
But more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be,
So with my best, my very best
I set you free;
I wish you shelter from the storm,
A cozy fire to keep you warm,
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love;
But most of all when snowflakes fall,
I wish you love.
