He says "I wish I knew you, I wish I met you
When time was still on my side"
She'll say " I wish I knew you, I wish I loved you
Before I was so bright"

And so they must depart
Too many more a broken heart
But I've seen that all before
In TV, books and film and more
And theres a happy ending
Every single day

And theyll meet one day
Far way
Saying " Hey I wish I was something more"
And theyll meet one day
Far away
And say " Hey I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before"
