Lyrics

Written by christine mcvie and colin allen

There's distance between us
And you're on my mind
As I lay here in the darkness
I can find no peace inside

I wish you were here, holding me tight
If I had you near - it would make it alright
I wish you were here
'Cause I feel like a child tonight

There's rain on my window
And I can count the drops
But I can't help feeling lonely
There's no way, no way that I could stop

I wish you were here, holding me tight
If I had you near - it would make it alright
I wish you were here
'Cause I feel like a child tonight

Each moment is a memory
Time is so unkind
Every hour filled with an emptiness
I can't hide

Oh, there's distance between us
Can't get you of my mind
As I lay here in the darkness
I can find no peace inside

I wish you were here, holding me tight
If I had you near - it would make it alright
I wish you were here
'Cause I feel like a child tonight
