i miss my friend

I miss the look of surrender in your eyes
The way your soft brown hair would fall
I miss the power of your kiss when we made love
But baby most of all

I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend

I miss the colors that you brought into my life
Your golden smile, those blue-green eyes
I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now
Saying it'll be alright

I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend

I miss those times
I miss those nights
I even miss the silly fights
The making up
The morning talks
And those late afternoon walks

I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with

wish you were here

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 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

----------------------------------

I wish your arms would reach. I wish I could touch your face. I wish you were here. I wish I could pick up the phone and call.

Dead Flowers

I feel like the flowers in this vase.
He just brought’em home one day.
Ain’t they beautiful he said.
They been here in the kitchen,
And the waters turnin’ gray.
They’re sittin’ in the vase but now they’re dead
Dead flowers.
He ain’t feeling anything,
My love, my hurt, or the sting of this rain.
I’m living in a hurricane,
All he can say is man ain’t it such a nice day.
Just like dead flowers.

One in love, One in anger

I wrote a couple of notes. One in love, one in anger. They're lying there dying in the dresser drawer. Lived louder than my voice. Struggled through a stranger. He loved me until I loved you even more. It's a bitter sweet victory. Lovin' someone else who wanted me. Now I can't laugh, can't cry. And I can't run, can't hide. You get used to the pain, and numb to the sting, 'til you can't feel anything.

You're Not Sorry

All this time I was wasting hoping you would come around. I've been giving out chances every time and all you do is let me down. And it's taken me this long baby but I figured you out. And you think it will be fine again but not this time around.
You don't have to call anymore. I won't pick up the phone. This is the last straw, don't wanna hurt anymore and you tell me that you're sorry, but I don't believe you baby, like I did before. You're not sorry.
Looking so innocent, I might believe you if I didn't know. Could've loved you all my life if you hadn't left me waiting in the cold. And you've got your share of secrets and I'm tired of being last to know. And now you're asking me to listen cause it's worked each time before.
You don't have to call anymore. I won't pick up the phone. This is the last straw, don't wanna hurt anymore and you tell me that you're sorry, but I don't believe you baby, like I did before. You're not sorry.
You had me calling for you honey and it never would have gone away, no. You used to shine so bright but I watch all of it fade.
So you don't have to call anymore, I won't pick up the phone, this is the last straw. There's nothing left to beg for and you tell me that you're sorry, but I don't believe you baby like I did before. You're not sorry
