Chords
{section: Verse one}
{section: Verse two}
Hearing that song took me back to my senior year, the year I asked
Mary Ellen Mayfield to the prom
She agreed to go as friends, I remember thinking "man, I wish,
Lord I wish that wasn't all"
{section: Chorus one}
{section: Verse three}
Like the way I felt that June, when Dad called me with the news
Through tears he told me my granddad was gone
He lived 'til he was 95, I know that's a good long life still I wish,
Lord I wish that wasn't all
{section: Chorus two}
Ain't it funny how sometimes, we can be unsatisfied
With things we should be thankful for
Like the time we get to spend with the ones we love, family and friends
Some things just leave you wanting more
{section: Verse four}
I thank God that I found you, until now I never knew
That a love could be this strong
I could stay right here and hold you close for ten forevers in a row, still I'd wish
