Backstory:
Demo: A Writer's Paradise Vocal: Mike Lusk ......This song started as a blind date song. I guess it needed to be stronger so I changed it to something a fishing buddy told me about once. I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but I don't think anyone will ever cut this one. :-)
Lyrics:
Verse 1
She’s posed in every picture wearing white satin and lace
A vision of an angel holding a pink bouquet
Petals, bows and memories fill each page as I look back
Still it’s like there’s something wrong or missing in each photograph
Chorus
I wish she was five foot five had auburn hair and big brown eyes
I wish she’d fall in my arms just like you used to do
I wish she could carry on and make me laugh all night long
I wish she was you
Verse 2
I’m living with your leaving it even looks like I survived
I have a dog a house a yard and two cars out on the drive
But I’m running out of options trying to explain
Why I sometimes dream of you at night and still call out your name
Chorus
I wish she was five foot five had auburn hair and big brown eyes
I wish she’d fall in my arms just like you used to do
I wish she could carry on and make me laugh all night long
I wish she was you
Bridge
I hang my head and close my eyes fightin’ what I feel inside
Prayin’ she will take your place and make your mem’ry fade away
Chorus
I wish she was five foot five had auburn hair and big brown eyes
I wish she’d fall in my arms just like you used to do
I wish she could carry on and make me laugh all night long
I wish she was you
