WISH I KNEW

I WISH I KNEW what happens
When the love in someone dies,
I'd like to learn from my mistakes,
Not get caught by surprise,
I wish I'd find a way to show
I mean just what I say.
Should I have said "I love you"
When I felt you draw away?

I wish I'd told you yesterday
That you're the only one.
I'd like to think that would have worked
When all was said and done.
I wish that we could have
Another chance to really try.
I think we'd make a go of it,
We'd never say "Goodbye".

Do I have to find a magic lamp?
What will it take to make my wishes come true?
My heart is broken and my eyes are damp.
What I didn't know then, now I WISH I KNEW.

SOLO

I wish I'd worked much harder
Learning how to understand.
I'll bet if we'd spent more time
Simply sitting, holding hands...
I wish I'd cherished more
The special time I had with you.
Is there something I'm to learn from this?
I WISH I KNEW.
