Lee Fields & The Expressions
Wish You Were Here
[Verse 1: Lee Fields]
You never missed your well
‘Til your well run dry
Seemed like only yesterday
You were here smiling
Now you’ve gone away
But I know you’re in a better place
No traces of you, what can I do?
Alone and confused
[Chorus: Lee Fields and (Lady Wray)]
How long (‘til I see your face)?
How long (‘til I see your face)?
How long (‘til I see your face)?
How long?
It’s just not fair
Wish you were here
Spend all my days
Wasting away
Wish you were here
[Verse 2: Lee Fields and (Lady Wray)]
So I’m living life without you
And, yes, it’s hard to go on
‘Cause your memory means so much to me
And I need to stay strong
Bad as I want you here
It’s a shame to know you’re not coming back
I’ll wait a hundred years, I’ll cry a million tears
(‘Til you’re back, ‘til you’re back)
Come back now
[Chorus: Lee Fields and (Lady Wray)]
How long (‘til I see your face)?
How long (‘til I see your face)?
How long (‘til I see your face)?
How long?
It’s just not fair
Wish you were here
Spend all my days
Wasting away
Wish you were here
[Verse 3: Lady Wray]
I’ll find the strength to pick my head up
Time heals all wounds, gotta get right back up
Miss you again, over again
Love will not die
Walking the road, I see your eyes
I know you’re here, right by my side
Wish you were here
Over again
[Outro: Lee Fields]
It’s just not fair
Wish you were here
Spend all my days
Wasting away
Wish you were here (Wish you were here)
Wish you were here (Wish you were here)
I just wish you were here (Wish you were here)
I wish you were here
