I Wish (Snow Angel Acoustic Sessions)

[Verse 1]

I was ten years old when I realized

Some goodbyes are forever

So what's that mean for you and I?

I thought we'd always be together

[Pre-Chorus]

How could the person who taught me to breathe

Take their last breath right in front of me?

I know too much now

[Chorus]

I wish I could still see the world through those eyes

Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright

Oh, the older we get, the colors they change

Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue's here to stay

I wish, I wish

[Verse 2]

I remember seeing my dad cry

For the first time, we were downstairs

Talkin' 'bout how his dad died

And how he wished he could've been there

[Pre-Chorus]

He said "How could the person who taught me to breathe

Take their last breath not in front of me?"

I know too much now

[Chorus]

I wish I could still see the world through those eyes

I still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright

Oh, the older we get, the colors they change

Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue stays the same

I wish, I wish

[Bridge]

Stay a little longer

I'm not ready for you to go

It hasn't even happened

But I have been mourning since ten years old

Stay a little longer

[Chorus]

I wish I could still see the world through those eyes, oh

Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright

Oh, the older we get, the colors they change

Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue's here to stay

So I wish, I wish
