I Wish You Were Here Lyrics by Taral

This Time

1997

[Verse 1]
You've been gone nine weeks and a day
Heaven took you from me (Why?)
"Life goes on," that's what people say
My heart wants to believe

[Pre-Chorus]
I never got the chance to say goodbye
And in my room at night, these tears I cry
'Cause I'm missin' you

[Chorus]
I wish you were here
To share my life and everything I'm goin' through
I wish you were here
To my hand and lead me through the night, oh
I wish you were here tonight, oh

[Verse 2]
Thinkin' back on timеs that we shared
Always you by my side, mmm, ha
Can't hеlp but laugh, when weren't we a pair?
Pictures live in my, my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm grateful for the love you gave, oh
Memories no one can take away
No one can take your place

[Chorus]
I wish you were here (I wish, I wish you were here for me, oh yeah)
To share my life and everything I'm goin' through (To share my life and everything I'm goin' through)
I wish you were here (I wish you were here, ooh, yes, I do, ooh, yeah)
To my hand and lead me through the night, oh (To hold my hand and lead me through the night, I wish)
I wish you were here tonight (I wish you were here tonight)
I wish you were here (I wish, I wish you were here for me, oh yeah)
To share my life and everything I'm goin' through (To share my life and everything I'm goin' through)
I wish you were here (I wish you were here, ooh, yes, I do, ooh, yeah)
To my hand and lead me through the night, oh (To hold my hand and lead me through the night, I wish)
I wish you were here tonight (I wish you were here tonight, I, ohh, I)
I wish you were here (I wish you were here for me, yeah)
To share my life and everything I'm goin' through (Share my life, everything I'm goin' through)
I wish you were here (I, I wish you were here, I need to be here)
To my hand and lead me through the night, oh (To hold my hand, lead me through, through the night oh)
I wish you were here tonight (I wish you were here tonight)

[Outro]
I wish you were here (Ooh, I wish)
I wish you were here (I wish you were here tonight)
(I wish)
