I Wish

A song written in memory of my late mother. Also Uncle Ray (Cynthia's dad) who just passed away yesterday.

You were leaving
I tried to hold on...
But you were leaving
and now you are gone
I remember that day
You didn't get to say goodbye
Did you know deep down inside
You were going away?

To a place where I can't reach
When will I see you again
Our moments of laughter now seem too few
I really miss you...

I wish... I've said that I love you more
I wish... you could hear this song
I wish... you could see me now
and know I'm getting along...
I wish... I could see your smile again
To feel the warmth of your hands,
I wish... I wish...
Even it's too late, I wish you were here right now.

You made my world beautiful
the happiest it could be
You taught me to love and to give
You believed in me...
At every milestone,
you cheered me on
Just when I was brave enough to stand on my own
and then you were gone...

...to a place where I can't reach
When will I see you again?
Our moments of laughter now seem too few
I really miss you...

I wish... I've said that I love you more
I wish... you could hear this song
I wish... you could see me now
and know I'm getting along...
I wish I could see your smile again
to feel the warmth of your hand
I wish... I wish...
Even it's too late, I wish you were here right now.
