I Wish

I wish I could have brought you joy but instead I've brought you grief And broke your heart with promises that were just beyond my reach I wish I could take back those words which caused you so much pain And replaced them with the memories where only love remains I wish I could make dreams come true so you could wish on every star And embrace the magic on the night you hold within your arms I wish I could have taken time to wipe away your tears And surround your heart with happiness to alleviate your fears I wish I could have been the one who fulfilled your fantasies And been the one to encourage you to follow all your dreams I wish I could have listened more with patience in my heart And held you closer to my side as we both lay in the dark I wish I could have thought of this when at first you got with me Before I broke your heart with promises that were just beyond my reach
