John's Lament Lyrics

Altered John's Lament

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
