Dear friend of mine, the weather's fine
|
Today I saw some ruins of the Roman world's decline
|
And I climbed old Spanish steps, you've heard so much about
|
But Rome has lost its glory, I don't know what it's about
|
|
I wish you were here
|
When the shadows fall and the rushing traffic stills
|
I wish you were here
|
And the bells are ringing on the seven hills
|
I make my way to a small cafe
|
I wonder what you did today
|
I wish you were here
|
|
Dear one at home, I just flew in from Rome
|
And Paris is a postcard all decked out in color chrome
|
So I climbed the Eiffel Tower and I prayed at Notre Dame
|
But I just can't find the romance and I wonder why I came
|
|
I wish you were here
|
On the Champs-A‰lysAⓒes, lovers walking hand in hand
|
I wish you were here
|
They take one look at me and they seem to understand
|
This city of light is a lovely sight
|
The first bright star I see tonight
|
I wish you were here
|
|
Now I write this on the plane
|
And I'm drinking cheap champagne
|
And wonderin' why two people got so far apart
|
|
I wish you were here
|
Here in London where the rain is pouring down
|
I wish you were here
|
On this airplane headed back to L.A. town
|
I'll never leave you alone again
|
I'm coming home, but until then
|
I wish you were here
|
(I wish you were here)
|
I wish you were here
|
(I wish you were here)
|
I wish you were here
|
(I wish you were here)
|
I wish you were here
|

Wish You Were Here
