(Intro)

Verse 1
Dear Friend Of Mine, The Weather's Fine
Today I Saw Some Ruins Of The Roman World's Decline
And I Climbed All Those Spanish Steps;
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 All 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
Wish You Were Here


Verse 2

Dear One At Home, I Just Flew In From Rome
Paris Is A Postcard All Decked Out In Color Chrome
And So I Climbed The Eiffel Tower
And 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 Walking Hand In Hand)
I Wish You Were Here
(they Take One Look At Me And Seem To Understand)
This City Of Light Is A Lovely Sight
The First Bright Star I See Tonight
Wish You Were Here

Now I Write This From The Plane,
Drinking Cheap Champagne
And Wondering 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 New York Town)
I'll Never Leave You Alone Again
I'm Coming Home But Until Then
Wish You Were Here
I Wish You Were Here
Wish You Were Here
