Lyrics

More I Cannot Wish

Velvet, I can wish you for the collar of your coat

And fortune smiling all along your way

But more I cannot wish you than to wish you find your love

Your own true love this day

Mansions, I can wish you, seven footmen all in red

And calling cards upon a silver tray

But more I cannot wish you than to wish you find your love

Your own true love this day

Standing there gazing at you

Full of the bloom of youth

Standing there gazing at you

With the sheepish eye and the look of the truth

Music, I can wish you, merry music while you're young

And wisdom, when your hair has turned to gray

But more I cannot wish you than to wish you find your love

Your own true love this day

With the sheepish eye and the look of the truth

And the strong arms to carry you away
