Verse 1:
Got a postcard
A postcard from
a better place
And it read
I wish you were here
I wish you were
And the soundtrack
The soundtrack from
a better night
And it sang
I wish you were here
You should have
stayed here
Refrain:
As life leaves my eyes I
realize I must have died
It looks like I didn't make
it through the night
Chorus:
I never got to say goodbye
I'll never get to say anything
at all again to a world
That barely knew I was alive
Sing a requiem for me
Make it sad but sweet
A song about release
A minor key symphony
Verse 2:
Found a letter
A letter from A
dear old friend
And it said
"I wish you were here"
I wish you were
And a prayer
A prayer in A
familiar voice
And she wept
I wish you were here
Why can't you be here?
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)
Bridge:
I got your flowers today
So perfectly arranged
With a card attached
“I'm sorry you could not stay”
They came a little late
I had to wait til they died
There's no tears up here
But I'm sure that
Eb---G#(hold)
I would have cried
Verse 3:
To everyone I've loved
To all who once loved me
I never meant to leave
(Repeat Chorus)
Outro:
Sing a requiem for me
Make it sad but sweet
A song about release
G#(hold)
A minor key symphony
