I wish things were like they used to be,
When I could say I love you
And you would say I love you too.
I wish things were like they used to be,
When I could call you just to say hey and to hear your voice
And you would be happy to talk to me
And in our minds we would silently rejoice.
I wish things were like they used to be,
When I could stop by for a second just to hold you tight
And you would always beg me to stay just for one night.
I wish things were like they used to be,
When I could lay in the bed beside you,
Only to watch you sleep.
And then you would wake up with a smile to pull me beside you,
And there I would forever keep.
I wish things were like they used to be,
But we know that all good has to come to an end
Although every time I think of you, a thought I will send.
And hopefully you will hear it in your mind
And stop to remember all of those wonderful times.
