A song about the longing we have to be the near the people we most love, no matter the time and distance.
Lyrics
I look at your picture,
my eyes fill with tears
at all of the changes
through these passing years.
And I wish you were near me
here by my side,
but if wishes were horses,
beggars would ride.
If wishes were horses,
I’d have a few,
and I'd saddle one up
and ride it to you.
I wish you were near me,
here by my side,
but if wishes were horses,
beggars would ride.
I write you a letter,
explain how I feel,
hoping you'll know
my love’s true and real.
And I wish you were near me,
right by my side,
but if wishes were horses,
beggars would ride.
If wishes were horses,
I’d have a few,
and I'd saddle one up
and ride it to you.
I wish you were near me,
here by my side,
but if wishes were horses,
beggars would ride.
