they kissed goodbye at the terminal gate

she said you're gonna

be late if you don't go

he held her tight

said i'll be alright

i'll 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 he'd hold her if

his arms would reach

wish you were here wish

you could see this place

wish you were near i wish

i could touch your face

the weather's nice it's paradise

it's summertime all year and

there's some folks we know

they say hello i miss

you so wish you were here

she got a call that night

but it wasn't from him

it didn't sink in right away

ma'am 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 loves her and they told her

how he'd hold her if

his arms would reach

wish you were here wish

you could see this place

wish you were near i wish

i could touch your face

the weather's nice it's paradise

it's summertime all year and

there's some folks we know

they say hello i miss

you so wish you were here

the weather's nice in paradise

it's summertime all year

and all the folks we know

they say hello i miss

you so wish you were here

wish you were here
