Sometimes I Wish, ©2004 by Gordon Lightfoot Dreaming of the love I lost the day the final bridge was crossed, Sometimes I wish that I could just forget; But the memory lingers yet, And it hangs around, Leavin' me low and leavin' me down. Everywhere I roam, there is nobody home. Even I should know, when it ain't my day there is no other way. Instrumental - I begin to wake up to how wrong it was to cling to you. Sometimes I wish to hold you to my heart, 'Cause I can't keep us apart. Forgiving you, Was the easiest thing that I ever could do. Everywhere I go, there is no one I know. Even I can see it's too late now to believe in a vow. Instrumental - As I wander I return to days gone by - there's much to be learned. Sometimes I wish that miracles could be; But at best I fail to see Any happenin'. Some gotta lose and some gotta win. Everywhere I roam, there is nobody home. Even I should know when it ain't my day there is no other way. Everywhere I go; there is no one I know. Even I can see it's too late now to believe in a vow. You're leavin' right now.
