I Wish I Was
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, Darlin, it’s been so long
Throw on your old self, cause I’ve seen what’s going on
Oh, Darlin, what are you dreaming of?
Well, I was much younger then and you were in love
And I said oh, oh, oh, I wish I was
I cried, oh, oh, oh, I wish I was
Time keeps on changing, you lose those you love
Hearts keep on breaking, with the memories of
the pain of tomorrow that you don’t know yet
The lonesome forgotten people you’ve met
They say oh, oh, oh, I wish I was
They cry oh, oh, oh, I wish I was
You said, oh, oh, oh, I wish I was
You said, oh, oh, oh, I wish I was
I wish I was
I cried, oh, oh, oh, I wish I was
