to hear your voice
to see you smile
to sit and talk to you awhile
to be together the same old way
that would be our greatest wish today
to hear you laugh
to hear you cry
or just a chance to say 'goodbye'
to say the things we didn't say
that would be our greatest wish today
but all we can do is throw a flower on the water
look for the sun through the rain
lay a little frangipani gentle on the water
remember how we loved you
to comb your hair
to lace your shoes
buy some flowers
let you choose
a phone call when you're away
just to see if you're okay
