about

This song was written in 3 minutes into a blank email message on February 19, 2002 and later recorded in one take at a friends house in Peterborough using his 12-string guitar. My sister had died less than one year earlier and the words and music just played themselves. I wish you were here.

lyrics

I said a prayer for you today
I thought of you just like old times
In dusting off the guitar I found a letter you wrote to me
And then I read the lines

I wish you were here
Nothing's quite as good without you
But I imagined what you'd think
And I imagined what you'd say
And then I felt OK again
And then I felt OK again

They say a thousand voices
Couldn't stand up next to one alone
And there I was with your life and lessons
At the microphone

I wish you were here
Nothing's quite as good without you
But I imagined what you'd think
And I imagined what you'd say
And then I felt OK again
And then I felt OK again

Understanding what is real
Is the greatest challenge in our lives
In dusting off the guitar I found a letter you wrote to me
And then I sang the lines

I wish you were here
Nothing's quite as good without you
But I imagined what you'd think
And I imagined what you'd say
And then I felt OK again
And then I felt OK again
