- I wish -

The stars shine in the night
there's not much left for me to say
like in the movies the end has come
I wish it could have been different
I wish we could have made it last
but our love was killed in a blast

Now I'm here writing these few lines
listening to the last hit by Elton John
And I wonder if you remember
all those nights spent together
with his songs in the background
maybe you still wear that worn-out jumper
when you sit by the window
watching the people down in the street
hurrying under the rain

I wish it still could be so
I wish it could be like in the movies
with their happy endings
when the leading charachter comes back to his love
I really wish we could make it last
but now it's all part of the past

There's not much left for me to say
like in the movies the end has come
I wish it could have been different
I wish we could have made it last
bot our love was killed in a blast
