Wish U Were Here

[Verse 1]

By the time you get this letter

I might be doin' better

It's kinda hard trying to survive

In all this crazy weather

Everybody wants my number

Everybody's callin' my name

But in the midst of all of this

I can still hear you say

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Son, walk upright and straighten your tie

You don't want one of them good jobs to pass you by

Don't act no fool, I'm watching you

And now that you're gone

It still feels like you do, I wish

[Chorus]

I wish u were here

To see the things I've done

I wish u were here

You'd be so proud of your son

I wish u were here

To celebrate with me

I wish u were here

[Verse 2]

Now all of these people ask me

"Is it lonely at the top?"

Or do I find comfort

In all the things I got

Well, these cars keep me movin'

These planes keep me high

A million dollar home

But I'm barely gettin' by cause

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I miss our talks

One thing you used to say (used to say)

When things got hard (Hard on me)

Get down on your knees and pray

And then those walks (then those walks)

Its just the simple things

We still do all of this

But only in my dreams, I wish

[Chorus]

I wish u were here

To see the things I've done

I wish u were here

You'd be so proud of your son

I wish u were here

To celebrate with me

I wish u were here

[Bridge]

But sometimes I wonder why

Why can't you still be here wit me?

Wish God would've waited a couple more years for you to see

I'm tryna stay strong, barely holdin' on

I know I'll see you again

But for right now, rest in peace

And when I get to heaven

First thing they'll say to me

Tell me have you seen Estelle Marie Talley

Find out where you are, run into your arms

Wrap your wings around me

And whisper in my ear, "Well done"

Well, well done, my son, well done, well done, oh

[Chorus]

I wish u were here

To see the things I've done

I wish u were here

You'd be so proud of your son

I wish u were here

To celebrate with me

I wish u were here
