Sometimes I Wish

Gordon Lightfoot

Compositor: 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
Leaving me low and leaving me down
Everywhere I roam, there is nobody home
Even I should know, when it ain't my day there is no other way

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

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 happening
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 leaving right now
