I Wish That Things
I Wish That Things
I wish that things could be now â how they were yesterdayâ
When everything we did and said - would work out some old way.
It all went as well then - as anyone could see
When everything was right then, between both you and me.
I wish that we could be now â the way we once were when â
Things were going along as well and were always on the mend.
And even all our hard times seemed to ebb quickly away â
Compared with how we are now, I wish for yesterday.
I wish that things could be now â the way that they were back then â
When everything was right with us and we were our best friends.
When anything could still go wrong â as it so often did â
But nothing came between us and nothing then was hid.
When anything we did then â seemed to be OK somehow â
Compared to things that trouble and burden us both now.
How I wish that we could be again â the way we seemed to be â
When anything we needed then came from you and meâ¦
