Wish You Were Here

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, wish I could touch your face The weather's nice, it's paradise It's summertime all year 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 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 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
