lyrics

I wish I could see her again
Oh when I would see her, I'd want her and need her
And I wish I could see her again

The night that I found her, there were vultures around her
She took me and held me but when
She wore her heart on her sleeve, I wouldn't believe (it)
Now I wish I could see her again

I treated her badly but she still loved me madly
And I wish I could see her again
When we ripped at the seams, she chose distant dreams
How I wish I could see her again

She broke my heart once or twice
She called me a sinner then put glass in my dinner
Why'd I wish I could see her again?

I dreamed of a life on my own
I dreamed of those times on my own
But in true isolation, found my soul’s devastation
Now I wish I could see her again

I held out my hopes for a year
But she left me with sadness and tears
So I tried to dismiss her, fell in the arms of her sister
Still I wished I could see her again

Now listen all you young men
Be good to your girl now and then
Treat love as a joke, and she'll vanish like smoke
And you’ll wish you could see her again

Oh when I would see her, I'd want her and need her
And I wish I could see her again
I wish I could see her again
