I can't begin to tell you how it feels It's a clear blue sky Out here my heart so full it's fit to burst Just counting the hours Home, such a long way gone How to share a day, here's my only way Send myself to you Wishing you were here, wishing you were here I can't begin to tell you where I've been It's a world behind And if we are to find our heaven here We just have to look harder Now I can see you I never could before, now I want nothing more When I close my eyes Wishing you were here, wishing you were here Home such a long way gone How to share a day, here's my only way When I close my eyes Wishing you were here, wishing you were here Wishing you were here, wishing you were here I can't begin to tell you how it feels
