"I Just Want to See the Boy Happy" as written by and Steven Patrick/tobias Morrissey....
Lord these words I beg of you
As I kneel down at my bed
Because soon I will be dead
Let's face it soon I will be dead
And I just want to
I want to see the boy happy
With some hope in his pale eyes
Is that too much to ask?
Before I die
I have one final dream
For my own life I don't care anything
Lord these words I beg of you
As I kneel down at my bed
Let's face it soon I will be dead
And I just want to
I want to see the boy happy
With his arms around his first love
Is that too much to ask?
Before I die
I have one final dream
For my own life I don't care anything
And I just want to
I want to see this boy happy
Why is this such a bad thing?
As I kneel down at my bed
Because soon I will be dead
Let's face it soon I will be dead
And I just want to
I want to see the boy happy
With some hope in his pale eyes
Is that too much to ask?
Before I die
I have one final dream
For my own life I don't care anything
Lord these words I beg of you
As I kneel down at my bed
Let's face it soon I will be dead
And I just want to
I want to see the boy happy
With his arms around his first love
Is that too much to ask?
Before I die
I have one final dream
For my own life I don't care anything
And I just want to
I want to see this boy happy
Why is this such a bad thing?

Anyway, this song reminds me of I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday from Your Arsenal.
Pretty much, it's Morrissey giving up on love and pleading to God to let a boy (one of his fans, most likely) to fall in love, and for it to be reciprocated.
Good song.
That said the other posters all have great views and although it is very reminiscent of He knows I'd love to see him it just seems a little more honest and innocent.
The priest, appropriately racked with guilt and defrocked, sincerely wants to see that he hasn't totally ruined a life.
His dying wish is to see that his victim finds healing and happiness.
