She said you're gonna be late if you don't go
 He held her tight, said I'll be alright
 I'll call you 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 he 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 and 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 wasn't 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 loves her and they told her
 How he'd love 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, and there's some folks we know
 They say "Hello, I miss you so, wish you were here"

 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
