I Wish I Was

I wish I was... I wish I was...the sun so I could keep you warm... my heat would dissipate your storm I wish I was... the sun I wish I was ...the blood that courses through your veins... inside you I could feel your pain I wish I was... the blood Chorus I know that...if you came back we could start again... but, I know you'd... never do that 'cause our love has reached the end All I can say is...I'm sorry for making...a mess of... our life and happiness Bridge There's not another love, that could ever take your place, 'cause all I can see...is your face I wish I was... a star, so I could shine on you... I'd lead you home to start anew I wish I was...a star I wish I was...the air that passes through your lips I'd feel your warm and tender kiss I wish I was...the air I wish I was...a thought lodged inside your mind... I'd help you happiness to find I wish I was a thought Chorus I know that...if you came back we could start again... but, I know you'd... never do that 'cause our love has reached the end All I can say is...I'm sorry for making...a mess of... our life and happiness Bridge There's not another love, that could ever take your place, 'cause all I can see...is your face I wish I was... the light I'd brighten up your day your darkness would just fade away I wish I was the light I wish I could be with you I wish you would be with me we're supposed to be a family I wish I was...with you I wish I was... with you I wish I was... with you repeat and fade John Derek Hamilton March 29,2019

Thanks Connie, that's a nice thing to say but I don't think I could write like you, we all have different gifts, one not better than the other, just different. This one did feel good when it flowed out of me. Thanks again!!

This is beautiful, John, and speaks to my heart. Do you have it set to music yet? Although, it hardly needs music; it flows so wondrously, it is music itself. Best wishes. Deb
