I wish it didn't happen but it did

You should be lighting fireworks and running with the kids

It's the kinda things you wanna see 'em happen to do

I wish it didn't happen but it did

Should be dancing under that old mirror ball

I only wish we could talk as all

The new beginning started at the end

I wish it didn't happen

I wish it didn't happen

And the word that you had written down

Only part of you still left around

Every letter I didn't wanna keep

I just read 'em and weep

I just read 'em and weep

How come the good ones have to go

How come the last force that you loved your own

How come it never stops

The world just moves right on

How come the good ones have to go

Listen to that same song of ours

Over and over while watching all the cars

Maybe you went us down or your voice just shut

I'll listen to the same song of ours

Every letter you had written down

Only part of you still left around

Every letter I didn't want to keep

I just read 'em and weep

I just read 'em and weep

Yeah you're still there

Yeah you're still there in the midnight air

Yeah you're still here

Yeah you're still here in the midnight air

Every letter that you wrote

I didn't want to keep

I just read 'em and weep

I just read 'em and weep

I just read 'em and weep
