Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh
[Verse 1]
It's not easy sayin' this to you
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do
But, boy, before you go
I want you to know
[Chorus]
I wish you strength (Wish you strength)
When times are hard (Times are hard)
Oh, I wish with all my heart you find just what you're lookin' for (Ah)
I wish you joy (Wish you joy)
I wish you peace (Wish you peace)
And that every star you see is within your reach (Ah)
And I wish you still loved me
[PostChorus]
Mm
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I wish you strength (Wish you strength)
When times are hard (Times are hard)
Oh, I wish with all my heart you find just what you're lookin' for (Ah)
I wish you joy (Wish you joy)
I wish you peace (Wish you peace)
And that every star you see is within your reach (Ah)
And I wish you still loved me
[Bridge]
Oh, losin' you is tearin' me apart (Tearin' me apart)
But a part of me will be with you no matter where you are
[Chorus]
I wish you strength (Wish you strength)
When times are hard (Times are hard)
Oh, I wish with all my heart you find just what you're lookin' for (Ah)
I wish you joy (Wish you joy)
I wish you peace (Wish you peace)
And that every star you see is within your reach (Ah)
And I wish you still loved me
Oh, I wish you still loved me
[Outro]
Mm
Mm
