Wish You Were Here Lyrics

Wish You Were Here lyrics

(Skip Ewing/Bill Anderson/Debbie Moore)

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
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, I 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 loves and they told her
How he'd love her if his arms would
reach

Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were
near, I 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"

The weather's nice, in
paradise
It's summertime all year and all the folks we know
They say,
"Hello, I miss you so, wish you were here"
Wish you were here
