Wish You Were Here

Where did my love go?

Where is the friend that I always knew?

This dream is void of meaning.

This song is without lyrics.

This heaven is lonely.

 

I wish you were here

 

I’ve already forgotten the way your skin felt.

The curves your body made…

The slight raise of your smile…

I’ve forgotten the way your hair smelled.

The way your eyes locked onto mine.

The softness of your lips…

I’ve already forgotten those sweet words you said.

How they made me feel.

Such a beautiful image of us framed for one night

Only to be forgotten the next day.

I wish you were here,

Here where I am…

Trying desperately to remember the night

When we were together.

 

My friend who is always away;

My brother, tell me who is my mother?

Where was father when I was born?

Do we really have sisters?

Or are we all just alone together?

Absence has played a large presence in my life…

Where did everyone go?

Our youth was torn from us,

But at least we kept our lives...

Some of us weren’t so lucky.

I wish you were here,

Here where I am…

Trying desperately to remember the past

When we were all together.

 

Where did my love go?

Where is the friend that I always knew?

This world is void of meaning.

This symphony is without lyrics.

This paradise is lonely.

 

I wish you were here
