I've watched you leaving And never tried to get you instead Somehow I talked myself into believing That it's just another game that 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 Oh, I wish you were here It's times just like these That I desperately need you And I wish you were here There's a world of love inside us to share I wish you were here I wish you were here Why must we always Find a way to cause each other such pain There's no doubt we love so completely That sometimes we go a little insane And the thing that keeps us from drifting apart Is the fact that we're bound by our soul and our heart Every power on earth Every storm we'll survive Come hell or high water Love won't be denied Oh, I wish you were here It's times just like these That I desperately need you And I wish you were here There's a world 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 fright And break down inside For love, for love, for love It's times just like these That I desperately need you I wish you were here There's a world of love inside us to share I wish you were here I wish you were here It's times just like these That I desperately need you And I wish you were here There's a world of love inside us to share I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here
