James Ingram - Wish You Were Here Lyrics

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
