Got a postcard, a postcard from my better place
And you write, "I wish you were here,I wish you were"
And it sounds like the soundtrack from my better night
And it's saying "I wish you were here
You should have stayed here"
As light leaves my eyes I realize I must have died
Looks like I'm (***) tonight
I'm never gonna say good-bye
I'm never going to say anything at all against the world
Until I feel your arms around me
Sing a requiem for me
Make it sad, but sweet
A song about release
A minor key symphony
Found a letter, a letter from my dear old friend
And it said, "I wish you were here,
I wish you were"
And a prayer, a prayer in a familiar voice
And she wept, "I wish you were here,
Why can't you be here?"
As light leaves my eyes I realize I must have died
Looks like I'm (***) tonight
I'm never gonna say good-bye
I'm never going to say anything at all against my world
Until I feel your arms tonight
Sing a requiem for me
Make it sad, but sweet
A song about release
A minor key symphony
I got your flowers today
So perfectly arranged
With a card attached, says
"Sorry you could not stay"
They came a little late
I had to wait to reply
There's no tears up here
But surely I would have cried
To everyone I loved
To all the ones I need
I never meant to leave
I'm never gonna say good-bye
I'm never going to say anything at all against my world
Until I feel your arms tonight
Sing a requiem for me
Make it sad, but sweet
A song about release
A minor key symphony
Sing a requiem for me
Make it sad, but sweet
A song about release
A minor key symphony
