Mark Wills: Wish You Were Here

Mark Wills: Wish You Were Here

They kissed goodbye at the terminal gate
She said, "You're gonna be late if you don't go"
He held her tight, said, "I'll be alright
I'll call you tonight to let you know"
He bought a postcard, on the front it just said Heaven
With a picture of the ocean and beach
And the simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her and they told her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach

Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near, I wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, I miss you so, wish you were here"

She got a call that night but it wasn't from him
It didn't sink in right away, ma'am the plane went down
Our crews have searched the ground
No survivors found she heard him say
But somehow she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven with a picture of the ocean and the beach
And the simple words he wrote her
Said he loves and they told her
How he'd love her if his arms would reach

Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near, I wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, I miss you so, wish you were here"

The weather's nice, in paradise
It's summertime all year and all the folks we know
They say, "Hello, I miss you so, wish you were here"
Wish you were here

There is nothing like a great country song to tear your heart out.

[tammiepraise]

my mom gave this song to my son (1 year old) to hand to me on my first mothers day...my husband went to work and never came home...worked on the river boats...fell in and drown...we didn't get to celebrate our second year anniversary....but god is good and gave me my little man who is now 19...6ft4inches and looks exactly like his dad....he is getting ready to get married, adopt her little 7 month old baby boy....and i know his daddy would be proud....god knows all things...i pray for all of you

[Roxychik006]

wow as many times as ive heard this sone this is the FIRST time i actually got it and now im sitting here crying like mad

[leliaarmstrong]

We played this at my fathers funeral in 1999. Still to this day it makes me cry!

[tiffanystrack]

This song reminds me of my dad who died 3 years ago on christmas day, the void hurts every day and I think of him in heaven saying how beautiful it is.

i listined to this song when my ex's mom saying that he got in a car wreck i miss him so much he was my first love

[trekgirlnaz]

This song is beautiful, however, my husband does a lot of flying with his job, both in this country and around the world and this is my biggest fear. I pray to God I never hear these words from any airline official.

[Esseltte]

this goes great with remembering the jaroslavl lokomotivs team and thei unfortunate planecrash

[Bidon45]

This song kind of gives me the same feeling as the song "Already there"

[rocknrolljen1]

10 years ago this song took on a new meaning:(

To all those we lost that September 11th YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!

[country7922]

when listening to this song, it is hard not to think of loved ones who have passed and shed a tear.

[lynnic100]

They just played this at my sisters sister- in-laws funeral as her last request. She was only 30 years old. She is no longer sick but walking in paradise!!!!!!
