" I Wish I Could "

by Lauriel Chambers   Aug 3, 2003


I wish I could be
the face you see
when you close your eyes and sleep

I wish I were the photo in your frame
and that my name
was the song you'd always sing

I wish I had the shoulder
you'd cry on
when things don't go your way

I wish I could tell you
how I'm feeling
well, maybe some day

I wish I could be
the one you'd run to
when your life won't treat you right

I wish I could be
the one you'd want to
be with for the rest of your life

I wish that I could
hold you close
be the one you need the most

I wish I could
I wish I could
I wish I could be with you

I wish you would
wrap your arms around me
whisper 'how ya doin?'
in my ear

Sometimes
these nights get lonely
how I wish that you were here

I wish that I could
hold your hand
try to make you understand

That meetin' you
turned my life around
I never knew what I'd found
'til now

I wish I was a chapter
in your life story
the one without an end
livin' happily ever after
wanna be your closest friend

Wanna love that's true
eternally
wish I meant to you
what you mean to me

I wish I could be
what's on your mind
when all you do is smile

I wish you'd call me
all the time
number 1
on your speed dial

I wish that we could dance the night away
under moonlight

I wish I may
I wish I might
some day
if just for one day

I wish I could
I wish I could
Be with you
