You know the time will come
you'll wish for me and I'll be gone
You'll wish for the woman
who would bring you chicken noodle soup
You'll wish for the woman
who would scramble your eggs
You'll wish for the woman
who would laugh at your jokes
You'll wish for the woman
who would gasp when you kiss the back of her neck

You'll wish, but she'll be gone.

  9. "If I had known," that's what the person. "Shoulda, woulda, coulda..."

  10. This reminds me of that old saying: If wishes were horses beggars would ride. Quite the pensive post.
