I watched you leaving and

never tried to get you to stay

Somehow I talked myself into

believing that

It s just another game we play



But the moment you re gone

the heartache begins

Like an ocean of sorrow that I

keep drowning in

Should I reach for the phone or

wait for your call

I don t care who was wrong I

won t go there at all



CHORUS

Oh I wish you were here

It s sometimes like these that I

desperately need you

And I wish you were here

There s a world of love

inside to share

I wish you were here



And the thing that keeps us

from drifting apart

Is the fact that we re bound by

the soul and the heart

Every power on earth every

storm we ll survive

Come hell or high water love

won t denied



CHORUS

Oh I wish you were here

It s times like these that I

desperately need you

And I wish you were here

There s a love of love inside

us to share

I wish you were here



Far too many nights, too

many fights

When we should be making up

Let s get past the pride

And reach down inside for love



REPEAT CHORUS
