[Verse 1]
She danced in the moonlight, soft as the breeze,
Her laughter like whispers through the tall pine trees.
I stood there in silence, my heart in my throat,
Words I never said now float like a ghost.
[Chorus]
Oh, I wished, I wished on every star I’d see,
That she’d stay, that she’d stay right here with me.
But wishes don’t hold when the timing’s all wrong,
Now she’s gone, she’s gone, like a half-finished song.
[Verse 2]
She left in the morning, suitcase in hand,
I watched from the porch, too scared to make a stand.
The sun hit her hair, a halo of gold,
But love’s only warmth when it’s spoken, not cold.
[Prechorus]
I held back the words, I let the moment slip,
Now my dreams are just shadows I can’t quite grip.
[Chorus]
Oh, I wished, I wished on every star I’d see,
That she’d stay, that she’d stay right here with me.
But wishes don’t hold when the timing’s all wrong,
Now she’s gone, she’s gone, like a half-finished song.
[Bridge]
The clock ticks too loud when regret’s all you’ve got,
Every second a lesson I learned but forgot.
If I could rewind, I’d scream out her name,
But life’s a one-way track, and it don’t play that game.
