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
