Richard Dauphin - Wish You Were Here Lyrics

Dear mom it's been a while since I talked to you
So it's only right
I take this time out to spill my heart to you
Even though it's been so many years
And though I've never done this before
Cuz I didn't want to drown in my tears
And face all my fears
Which would hinder my progression
And let grief lead my down the road to depression
So I guess I suppressed them
In order to move forward
Cuz to deal with the hurt of passing
I couldn't afford it
But it's been so long
So it's only right I put you on
I always said that I would right you a song
You were the first audience I ever performed for
And after I was done you would always yell encore
I recall in my living room
Trying to be Bob Marley
Strumming my toy guitar
Like I knew I was a star
When I think about out it now
I think it's kind of wild
That my love of music came from how I knew it made you smile
And how I wish

How I wish you were here
One touch
One heart
Mom I miss you much
I could still feel your touch
Even though your gone
I wrote you this song
Just to say
I wish
You were here

I can't front it's kinda hard putting words together
To express how I wish me and you was together
What I give for you to hug me again
Or to look me eye
And tell me how much you love me again
It's is what it is though
Your death made me think life
And ask what am I here for
Are you there Lord
I know You got to be
At night I always felt angles were watching me
Leading and guiding me and giving me a piece of mind
And for most people to lose they mom
They'll be out they mind
Though often times I would reminisce
And wish that you were you here
To guide through my trials
And help me face my fears
For years I treated
Mother's Day like just another day
To see a mother embrace her son I'd just look away
Because could stand
Seeing what I wish I had
It's all good
I ain't mad
I just wish you were here

How I wish you were here
One touch
One heart
Mom I miss you much
I could still feel your touch
Even though your gone
I wrote you this song
Just to say
I wish
You were here

I so wish you were here for my High School and college graduation
Or at my ordination in the midst of the congregation
Or rocking on stage
Moving the crowd
Thinking about
If you could only see me now
Or on the day I recite my wedding vows
Or better day i lay in your arm your first grandchild
And I just hope that I could you proud and When I look at the clouds
Smiling down on me
I still remember all the song you used to me
John Crocker
You are so beautiful to me
And everyday I look in the mirror I see you in me
If only you could see
How far I've come from Into being the man I've become
It's only by God's grace
That I've made it through the years
But not a day goes by
I don't sit and think how I wish you here

How I wish you were here
One touch
One heart
Mom I miss you much
I could still feel your touch
Even though your gone
I wrote you this song
Just to say
I wish
You were here
