I’m a man of many wishes,
But I wouldn’t want a genie
See even a million fallen stars would not please me
But I’d give up all the fallen stars in the world
For you to be my girl
Or for that chance to find out if what we have is true romance
For what is this?
A man willing to dismiss his fears
Dry one’s tears
Opening up a window to cast out all his cares
Simply for this
My beautiful, one wish
...
