Intro: verse 1 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 (no chord) I wish you were here Outro: 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
