I Wish You Were Here

Shorty Long, William “Mickey” Stevenson

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
