Story Behind The Song
I wanted to use a different twist on this love song, so I came up with the idea "I wish I could write you a love song..." with all the things I'd want to say in a love song...
Song Description
This is basically a 50's riff performed totally acoustically highlighting the lead vocal, with back up vocal and acoustic guitars, no percussion for a sweet flowing feel to the song. Great hook and melody for anyone who loves to sing.

I Wish

Verse(C-Am-F-G (F-G) Bridge[Am-G]-[F-G-C-Am] Chorus[F-G-C-Am] (F-G)
I wish could write you a love song
to say the things I'd like to say
I wish I could sing you a melody
to share what I feel for you every day
I wish I could paint you a picture
of how beautiful you are
I wish I could make you a movie
in it you would be the star
I wish I could write you a sonnet
about how much your love means to me
I wish I could build you a palace
that everyone in the world could see
I wish I could find the right words
to share with you from my heart
I wish I knew how to tell you
you have been great right from the start
(Bridge)
you've always been wise
honest and fair
Behind your blue eyes
you have always been there
always quick with a smile
with a hug or a kiss
you've been my best friend
you are my perfect Miss
(Chorus)
I wish I could write you a love song
I wish I could write you a love song
I wish I could write you a love song
you know I think I just did
