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

How I Wish I Could Be ThereEd Alto
00:00 / 03:36

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
