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, 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 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

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
