Wish You Were Here
(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
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' and 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
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
