They kissed goodbye at the terminal gate
She said, Youre gonna be late if you dont go
He held her tight, said, Ill be alright
Ill 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 the beach
And the simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her and they told her
How hed hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near, wish I could touch your face
The weathers nice, its paradise
Its summertime all year
Theres some folks we know, they say, Hello
I miss you so, wish you were here
She got a call that night but it wasnt from him
It didnt sink in right away
Maam 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 loved and they told her
How hed hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near, wish I could touch your face
The weathers nice, its paradise
Its summertime all year
Theres some folks we know, they say, Hello
I miss you so, wish you were here
The weathers nice in paradise
Its summertime all year
And all the folks we know, they say, Hello
I miss you so, wish you were here
Wish you were here
