I Wish Video (MV)

I was ten years old when I realized
Some goodbyes are forever
So what's that mean for you and I?
I thought we'd always be together

How can a person who taught me to breathe
Take the last breath right in front of me?
I know too much now

I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
I still see the colors, they're not as clear or as bright
Oh, the older we get, the colors they faint
Your hair turns to grey but the blue's here to stay
So I wish, I wish

I remember seeing my dad cry
For the first time, we were downstairs
Talkin' 'bout how his dad died
And how he wished he could've been there

He said "How could a person who taught me to breathe
Take the last breath right in front of me?"
I know too much now

I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
I still see the colors, they're not as clear or as bright
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change
Your hair turns to grey but the blue stays the same
I wish, I wish

Stay a little longer
I'm not ready for you to go
It hasn't even happened
But I have been mourning since ten years old
Stay a little longer

I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
I still see the colors, they're not as clear or as bright
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change
Your hair turns to grey but the blue's here to stay
So I wish, I wish
