Lyrics: Wish You Were Here

By Yiyan Han (c) 2020-11-24

Lyrics: Wish You Were Here

This piece is a heartfelt one with deep emotions. Will some one make it to Top of the Pops? Yeah, come on! Will Celine Dion, Katherine Jenkins, Jackie Evancho, Josh Daniel, or Ronan Keating be interested in taking it on? Originally written on 2015-12-15, and last addition of a new stanza on 2020-11-24, thanks to the excellent comments by fellow poetess Marion Price.

When I'm alone
my feeling's strong

Heard you say
don't carry away
But I can't help it
'cause my sleepless mind

When I'm alone
my feeling is strong

I’m despair
as you don’t care
But I can't help it
'cause my longing mind

Wish you were here
when I'm alone

When I'm alone
my feeling’s strong

When I'm alone
my feeling’s strong

Very nice Yiyan but...a very short song ...maybe a little longer? Nobody would get to the dancefloor in time...šŸ¤—šŸ¤—

Thanks, B.E., must be short then since you're the second person make such comment even after adding a newĀ stanza. I'll leave it as it now as I don't want to dilute the strong feelings expressed ;))

Dear Neville,
