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.      As life leaves my eyes I realize I must have died   It looks like I didn’t make it through the night   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      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?      As life leaves my eyes I realize I must have died   It looks like I didn’t make it through the night   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      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 I would have cried.      To everyone I’ve loved   To all who once loved me,   I never meant to leave…      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   Sing a requiem for me   Make it sad but sweet   A song about release,   A minor key symphony.
