Though I did not write this song when I was in Viet Nam, I knew how it felt to be away from those you love.
.
How I Wish I Could Be There
I can see your shadow in the moonlight
Starlight sparkling in your hair
From you lips, words I remember
A sound of magic in the air
Though time has put a distance now between us
It can’t erase the moments shared
I long to be close enough to hold you
Oh how I wish I could be there
To feel your arms gently wrap around me
And hear your laughter everywhere
I hope you know how much I really miss you
Oh how I wish I could be there… Oh how I wish I could be there
As I reflect on our memories together
I hear your voice I feel your touch
I hope you know, whenever I am with you
Forever isn’t long enough
So as the sun gives way to starlight
And a darkness fills the air
Just close your eyes and feel your heart inside you
With every beat I will be there
And as that darkness settles here around me
I see shadows everywhere
Like silhouettes of all our times together
Oh how I wish I could be there… Oh how I wish I could be there
