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   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, 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 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      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
