From the recording Rise Up! The Compilation
A really nice power ballad. If you ever were separated from a loved one, and can't wait to reunite. It's love! (a passionate guitar solo too)
Lyrics
WISH YOU WERE HERE
Spending my days, just drifting away
On a sea of rainbows and memories
The picture is clear, I wish you were here
This pain, is so severe
So far from home
I feel so alone
Holding you close in my heart
The picture is clear, I wish you were near
This pain, is so severe
Chorus:
Up on stage when the night gets heavy
I’ll sing these songs till I’m hot and sweaty
And I’m thinking of you, the things that we do
The laughter that we shared
Now there’s one thing that I know for certain
There’s a time for love, a time for hurtin’
But you’ve got to be strong just to carry on
Gotta find my way back home
So many nights, of parties and lights
Longing for you by my side
The picture is clear, I wish you were here
This pain, is so severe
(repeat chorus)
(guitar solo)
(repeat chorus)
Na naa, na na na na na na
Na naa, na na NA NA
Oouu, la la la la yea
Oooouuu, I’m wishin’, I’m wishin’ baby!
