i wish that you never had gone
peter j stein 2011
verse i
the last time i saw you, you were in pigtails, we were children playing a game,
you stood behind me, pretending to find me, and this boy was never the same.
verse ii
you touched my hand lightly, which told me you liked me, and my heart started singing this song,
then you moved to boston, and then i felt lost, how i wish that you never had gone.
chorus 1
without your love i am nothing, i am barely alive, i’m facing oblivion, i need you to survive.
instrumental (chords of verse)
chorus 2
this life that we’re living, is all that we know, we capture a moment of time, then we have to let go.
verse iii
the last time i saw you, i didn’t have to call you, we were children playing along,
you stood behind me, pretending to find me, how your touch was so gentle and strong.
coda
how your face was so lovely and warm,
how i wish that you never had gone,
how i wish that you never, i know it’s forever,
how i wish that you never had gone!
instrumental (chords of the verse), while singing “oh, oh, you were so beautiful, oh god”, and fade
