I wish you knew that I’ll nev er for get you as long as I live.

And I wish you were right here, right (C)now, it’s all good.

I wish you would.

It’s (F)two a.

(F)head lights pass the (Fsus2)win dow pane; I (F)think of you.

Makes you want to run and hide, then it (Bb)makes you turn right (C)back a round.

I wish you would (F)come back, wish I (Fsus2)nev er hung up the (F)phone like I did.

I wish you knew that I’ll nev er for get you as long as I live.

And I wish you were right here, right (C)now, it’s all good.

I wish you would.

I wish we could (F)go back, and re (Fsus2)mem ber what we were (F)fight ing for.

And I wish you knew that I miss you too much to be mad an y more.

And I wish you were right here, right (C)now, it’s all good.

I wish you would.

I Wish You Would by Taylor Swift — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “I Wish You Would” by Taylor Swift in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Bb at 100 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
