Just One Wish

Shala, If I had just one wish,

I’d wish to be in heaven with you

To tell you how much I love you

And just to sit and talk things through

I never got the chance to say goodbye

Or to tell you how pretty you were

So now all I can do is think,

“God, why her?”

You had so much to live for

And so many friends that loved you so true

Friends that don’t do anything now

But think about how much they miss you

I know there is no sense to cry

No matter how hard that may be

‘Cause I know I’ll see you again someday

Someday you’ll be with me
