I Wish You Were There |
I wish you were there when I cried out, Wondering where my life had gone wrong. A mournful feeling filled my soul, No longer did it sing a happy song. I wish you were there when I fell down, When I couldn't get my feet under me I couldn't see where I was going, Blindly stumbling, asking, "Where could I be?" I wish you were there when you died, I didn't want to believe that you were gone. I saw you in the casket, so still and white, I couldn't bear the fact your life was done. I wish you were there to dry the tears, To tell me it was okay, you never died. But my dreams will never be realized, For I know that my heart has never lied... |
