Dear friend of my mine
The Weather's fine
Today, I saw some ruins
Of the Roman world's decline
And I climbed all those Spanish stairs
You've heard of them no doubt
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's still
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
Verse 2
Dear one at home
I just flew in from Rome
And Paris is a postcard
All decked out in Kodachrome
And 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-Elysees
Lovers walk 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 site
The first bright star I see tonight
Wish you were here
Bridge
Now, I write this on the plane
and I'm drinking cheap champagne
And wondering how
Two people got so far apart
I wish you were here
Here in London
Where the rain the pouring down
I wish you were here
On this airplane
Headed back to LA 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
