They kissed goodbye at the terminal gate
She said you're gonna be late if you dont go
He held her tight, said I'll be alright
And I'll call tonight to let you know
He bought a postcard, on the front it just said Heaven
With a picture of the ocean and the beach
And the simple words he wrote her said he loved her and they
They told her, how he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near, wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise, it's summertime all year
There's some folks we know, they say hello, I miss you so
Wish you were here
She got a call that night, but it wasnt from him
It didn't sink in right away
Ma'am the plane went down, our crews have searched the ground
No survivors found she heard him say
But somehow she got a postcard in the mail that just said Heaven
With a picture of the ocean and the beach
And the simple words he wrote her said he loved her and they
They told her, how he'd hold her if his arms would reach
CHORUS
The weather's nice, in paradise, it's summertime all year
And all the folks we know, they say hello, I miss you so
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
