|
They kissed goodbye at the terminal gate.
|
She said: "You're gonna be late if you don't go."
|
He held her tight, said: "I'll be alright.
|
"And I'll call you tonight to let you know."
|
He bought a postcard, on the front it just said: "Heaven,"
|
With a picture of the ocean and the beach.
|
And the simple words he wrote her, said he loved her and they told her,
|
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach.
|
Wish you were here.
|
Wish you could see this place.
|
Wish you were near.
|
Wish I could touch your face.
|
The weather's nice, it's paradise.
|
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know.
|
They say: "Hello."
|
"I miss you so.
|
"Wish you were here."
|
She got a call that night but it wasn't from him.
|
It didn't sink in right away: "Ma'am the plane went down.
|
"Our crews have searched the ground,
|
"No survivors found," she heard him say.
|
But somehow she got a postcard in the mail that just said: "Heaven,"
|
With a picture of the ocean and the beach.
|
And the simple words he wrote her, said he loved her and they told her,
|
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach.
|
"Wish you were here.
|
"Wish I could touch your face.
|
"The weather's nice, it's paradise.
|
"It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know.
|
"They say: 'Hello.'
|
"I miss you so.
|
"Wish you were here."

Wish you were here.
