I watched you leaving   And never tried to get you to stay   Somehow I talked myself into believing that   It's just another game we play      But the moment you're gone the heartache begins   Like an ocean of sorrow that I keep drowning in   Should I reach for the phone or wait for your call?   I don't care who was wrong I Won't go there at all      Oh I wish you were here   It's times just like these that I desperately need you   And I wish you were here   There's a world of love inside us to share   I wish you were here, I wish you were here      Why must we always   Find a way to cause each other such pain?   There's no doubt that we love so completely   That sometimes we go a little insane      And the thing that keeps us from drifting apart   Is the fact that we're bound by our soul and our heart   Every power on Earth, every storm we'll survive   Come Hell or high water, love won't be denied      Oh I wish you were here   It's times just like these that I desperately need you   And I wish you were here   There's a world of love inside us to share   I wish you were here      Far too many nights, too many fights   When we should be making up   Let's get past the pride   And reach down inside for love, for love, for love      Oh I wish you were here   It's times just like these that I desperately need you   And I wish you were here   There's a world of love inside us to share   I wish you were here      I wish you were here   It's times just like these I need you and I need you too   I wish you were here   There's a world of love inside us to share   I wish you were here   I wish you were here   I wish you were here
