John's Lament Lyrics - Yours Truly - Altered

I remember summers when we played 

Promises we made 

O how that time fades 

Summers go with bitter tears I cry 

Looking to the sun God, wondering why 

You had to go away, go away 

I wish that I could be there 

I wish that I could be there 

You were there with all your pretty prayers 

Solace in your care 

But who said life is fair 

I want you to feel the way I do 

Cause I can be like you 

I wanna be with you, be with you 

I wish that I could be there 

I wish that I could be there 

Oh ho, I wish that I could be there 

Be there, be there 

I wish that I could be there 

Be there, be there 

Then I'd never be alone 

I wish that I could be there 

Then I'd never be alone 

I wish that I could be there 

I could be there 

I wish that I could be there 

I wish that I could be there 

Oh ho I wish that I could be there 

Be there, be there 

I wish that I could be there 

Be there, be there 

I wish that I could be there 

I wish that I could be there
