Wish You Were Here Lyrics
Bee Gees
Lyrics
You're living your life
In somebody else's heart
My love is as strong
As oceans are far apart
A summer song keeps playing in my brain
And I feel you, and I see your face again
There's no escape
I lost everything in losing you
Ah, and I wish you were here
Drying these tears I cry
They were good times
And I wish you were here
And calling my name
'Cause you're dealing with a man insane, the cost
How hopelessly I'm lost
I tried to throw our love away
And I can't let go
And so I awake
In somebody else's dream
(It's not what it seems)
It's only a lie
I've yet to decide who's real
The blood red rose will never never die
It'll burn like a flame
In the dark of the night
I'm not afraid
I'd give everything
If you hear me there
Ah, and I wish you were here
Drying these tears I cry
They were good times
It's that time of year
For being alone
'Cause you're dealing with a heart of stone
Try to kiss and say goodbye
Try to throw our love away
And that storm will blow
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
'Cause you're dealing with a heart of stone
Try to kiss and say goodbye
Try to throw our love away
And I can't let go
They were good times
And I wish you were here
Yes, I wish you were here
They were good times
And I wish you were here
Yes, I wish you were here
They were good times
And I wish you were here
Yes, I wish you were here
They were good times
And I wish you were here
Yes, I wish you were here
They were good times
And I wish you were here
Yes, I wish you were here
They were good times...
