Lyrics

Wish You Were Here

Daylight

Comes creeping

In the morning

And I wish I was still sleeping

And the daytime

Is a long time

Dull and dreary

Full of dreams of wishful thinking

But the night-time

Is the one time

When I miss you

And I wish that you were with me

And I sit and

I think of you

And I'm lost in

Forgotten old memories of you

Wish you were here with me

I wish you were here with me

Wish you were here with me

I wish you were here with me

Night-time

Comes seeping

Through my window

And I know I should be sleeping

But I'm thinking

Of the last time

Can you hear me

Do you know my hopes are sinking

'Cos the night-time

Is the one time

When I miss you

And I wish that you were with me

And I sit and

I think of you

And I'm lost in

Forgotten old memories of you

Wish you were here with me

I wish you were here with me

Wish you were here with me

I wish you were here with me

And I'm always thinking of you

And I'm always thinking of you

And I'm always dreaming of you

Always I'm weeping in dreams

Wishing and hoping

Wish you were here with me

I wish you were here with me

Wish you were here with me

I wish you were here with me
