Got a postcard, a postcard from my better place And you write, "I wish you were here,I wish you were" And it sounds like the soundtrack from my better night And it's saying "I wish you were here You should have stayed here"
As light leaves my eyes I realize I must have died Looks like I'm (***) tonight
I'm never gonna say good-bye I'm never going to say anything at all against the world Until I feel your arms around me Sing a requiem for me Make it sad, but sweet A song about release A minor key symphony
Found a letter, a letter from my 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 light leaves my eyes I realize I must have died Looks like I'm (***) tonight
I'm never gonna say good-bye I'm never going to say anything at all against my world Until I feel your arms tonight 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, says "Sorry you could not stay" They came a little late I had to wait to reply There's no tears up here But surely I would have cried
To everyone I loved To all the ones I need I never meant to leave
I'm never gonna say good-bye I'm never going to say anything at all against my world Until I feel your arms tonight 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
