Wishing You Were

Wishing you were
Sitting next to me
telling me stories
And keeping me company
But you are miles away
Across the river and
Across the land
I will never see you
If on this ground I stand.

You made me weak in the knees
And always put a smile on my face
You made me laugh
You made me cry
You opened my heart to make me see
What true love really means

It is listening and caring
And helping others through
The trials and tribulations of life
Not knowing exactly what they've been through
It’s lending an ear and listening
Like you always did
And making me feel important within

Thinking about the past
And all you helped me see
I keep wishing you were here
Sitting right next to me
