They kiss 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
And 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
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 and miss you so
Wish you were here
She got a call that night
But it wasn't for him
Didn't sink in right away
Man 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
There's some folks we know
They say hello I miss you so
Wish you 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
