I wish

I wish that you were here with me
I wish that you could see
I need you here, in my life
I wish that you were here tonight

I wish that you were not alone
I wish that you would call me on the phone
I need you to be strong
I wish that you were home where you belong

I wish that you would have listened
I wish that you could have been a star and glistened
I need you to keep your head up
I wish that you had the chance to drink from Jesus’ cup

I wish that you were with me for the holiday
I wish that you were here to stay
I need you to take care
I wish that you discern how I’m always there

I wish that you were back in time
I wish that you didn't commit that crime
I need you to do better
I wish that you would send another letter

I wish that you only had a year
I wish that you won’t shed a tear
I need you to fight
I wish that you will try with all of your might

I wish that you had a nice meal
I wish that you weren’t someone to conceal
I need you to keep your love
I wish that you find help from above

I wish that you recognize you’re my hero
I wish that you identify that you’re still no zero
I need you to get out
I wish that you could roam about

I wish that you weren’t far from my touch
I wish that you consider how I miss you so much
I need you to know
How I wish that you were home
