JOHN COLTRANE: “I Wish I Knew” (1945) by Harry Warren (music) and Mack Gordon (lyrics). These two composers paired up to provide music for many Broadway shows and movies.
This song, “I Wish I Knew” was featured in the Betty Grable and Dick Haymes movie Diamond Horshoe. Another standard from that movie is “The More I See You. ”
“I wish I knew someone like you could love me
I wish I knew you’d place no one above me
Did I mistake this for a real romance?
I wish I knew, but only you can answer.”
