I Wish You Were Here - Billy Eckstine

An empty room, our favorite tune

The air seems to hold a fragrance of your perfume

One thing wrong: there’s no you

Words can’t explain what I’ve been going through

Can’t seem to take away a love so deeply stored away for years

(I wish you were here)

Constantly running, going nowhere

Trying to mend a broken heart that you left bare

All of my running has been in vain

No other love seems to be the same

Can’t seem to run away, nothing seems to run away the tears

I’m writing you this letter with tears in my eyes

Hoping and praying, baby, that you’ll realize

One phone call, just one letter

Would make me feel whole lot better

If you think about me then why try to live without me, my dear

(I wish you were here)

I look out my window, what do I see

A couple strolling hand in hand, it should’ve been you and me

Everything I do seems to turn out wrong

I wish you’d find it in your heart to hear me home

'Cause if you think about me then why try and live without me, my dear

Wish you were here

Can’t seem to take away a love so deeply stored away for years

Wish you were here
