It's not easy saying this to you
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do
But boy before you go
I want you to know

I wish you strength,
When times are hard
Oh I wish with all my heart 
You find just what your looking for
I wish you joy
I wish you peace
And that every star you see is within your reach
And I wish you still loved me

I wish that things were different,
You know that
But I'm still happy for the times we had
You mean the world to me
Oh baby please believe

I wish you strength,
When times are hard
Oh I wish with all my heart 
You find just what your looking for
I wish you joy
I wish you peace
And that every star you see is within your reach
And I wish you still loved me

Oh losing you is tearing me apart
But part of me will be with you
No matter where you are

I wish you strength,
When times are hard
Oh I wish with all my heart 
You find just what your looking for
I wish you joy
I wish you peace
And that every star you see is within your reach
And I wish you still loved me
Oh I wish you still love me
