I Wish

I wish I could have brought you joy

but instead I\'ve brought you grief

And broke your heart with promises

that were just beyond my reach

 

I wish I could take back those words

which caused you so much pain

And replaced them with the memories

where only love remains

 

I wish I could make dreams come true

so you could wish on every star

And embrace the magic on the night

you hold within your arms

 

I wish I could have taken time

to wipe away your tears

And surround your heart with happiness

to alleviate your fears

 

I wish I could have been the one

who fulfilled your fantasies

And been the one to encourage you

to follow all your dreams

 

I wish I could have listened more

with patience in my heart

And held you closer to my side

as we lay there in the dark

 

I wish I could have thought of this

when at first you got with me

Before I broke your heart with promises

that were just beyond my reach
