a car goes by and i see your face
a strangers face in the window
and i wish it was you
im in a room
its a crowded room
a friend walks up to say hello
and i wish it was you
cause every memory that haunts my mind
is just another reason why

(i wish it was you) a phone ring in the middle of the night
a doorbell in the broad daylight
a letter in the mail that i come home to
(i wish it was you) when i see two people on the street
touchin´ like they dont care who sees
laughin´ the way we used to do
i wish it was you

ill meet someone who could be the one
but soemthin´ always happens
before the night is through
theres that certain look and that certain smile
theres that old familiar pattern
and i wish it was you
tellin´ me that you´ll be back someday
and i dont have to feel this way

(i wish it was you) a phone ring in the middle of the night
a doorbell in the broad daylight
a letter in the mail that i come home to
(i wish it was you) when i see two people on the street
touchin´ like they dont care who sees
laughin´ the way we used to do
i wish it was me and i wish it was you
