For Joe

I wish that you were here. Nothing’s quite the same
Staring at your picture captured in a frame   

I wish that I could call. There’s so much left to say
But we both know it’s too late. Words just hurt you anyway 

CHORUS:

Wishing, wishing only points the way
To what might have been, not what’s come to be
Wishing, wishing won’t let me forget
The pain and regret I feel for Joe 

I wish I’d been with you hiking up that hill
With blind determination and all consuming will 

I wish we could have shared that panoramic view
Gazed into your future, found a path to see it through 

REPEAT CHORUS:

I wish that you could see us gathered all together
And know how much we loved you and how we will forever 

I wish there’d been a way to mend a broken man
Steel you from your demons, tear that pistol from your hand 

REPEAT CHORUS:
