Wished You Were There

We had a happy grand reunion,
Hadn't played together in nine years,
But you know we were the special friends that night
And excited to the point of tears
We took a few by surprise,
Unannounced yet still accepted.
We performed the Carnegie Hall last set
And gave them more than we expected.
But Stacey never mentioned a thing
About our reappearance in the Plain Dealer.
And you know we even had a better second night
When we gathered at the Civic Theater
Wished you were there.
I can still remember their faces,
Blessed be forever ties that bind.
And you know we were each other's friends that night,
All our differences were left behind.
We heard the songs fill the stage,
Fill the hall awaken our memory,
And I know there was some old rock and roll
Born in the early seventies.
But Stacey never mentioned a thing
About our reappearance in the Plain Dealer.
And you know we even had a better second night
When we gathered at the Civic Theater
Wished you were there.
