I Wish (Jennifer's Song)
I was young, but I was dying
Didn’t think that I’d see twenty
I would never have a husband
Or children in my life
She was young, her life was over
Taken from you in an instant
You would never hold her children
She would never be a wife
Oh, I wish you could see her!
See her playing in the yard
I wish you could meet her!
She’s the age your daughter was
When in your grief you gave my life to me-
I wish you could see her
Thank you! Thank you!
For my daughter for my husband
For my life
Thank You! Thank you!
I pray your grief was lighter
With the knowledge that
You gave another, life
Time has passed, it seems so quickly
But the years are five and twenty
I got to have a husband
And a daughter of my own
You’re older too, I’m sure you miss her
I’ll never know if you had others
I hope you had more children
I hope you haven’t been alone
I wish you could see her!
Blonde hair shining in the sun
I wish you could meet her!
Know your child’s life is not done
She’s alive in me, and in my daughter too-
I wish you could see her.
Thank you! Thank you!
For my daughter for my husband
For my life
Thank You! Thank you!
I pray your grief was lighter
With the knowledge that
You gave another, life
