"Wish"
By Billy J Pomerleau

What can I say?
There is no one in the world like you
And the thought of losing such a beauty
Is not only maddening but abuse
I realize you can't cage an eagle
You've gotta stretch your wings and fly
But the thought of you leaving, baby
Brings a dampness to my eyes
I hope you realize I'm a better person now
But in heart I'm still the same
I'm not going to try and stop you baby
I'm just trying to deal with the pain
However no matter where you end up
We'll still be under the same bright stars
I'll be here waiting for you baby
Wishing to be where you are
