Wish You Were Here

WISH YOU WERE HERE
Eddie Fisher

- words and music by Harold Rome
- from the hit musical Wish You Were Here
- lyrics as recorded by Eddie Fisher with Hugo Winterhalter and His Orchestra
in 1952

They're not making the skies as blue this year - wish you were here
As blue as they used to when you were near - wish you were here
And the mornings don't seem as new
Brand-new as they did with you
Wish you were here, wish you were here, wish you were here

Someone's painting the leaves all wrong this year - wish you were here
And why did the birds change their song this year - wish you were here
They're not shining the stars as bright
They've stolen the joy from the night
Wish you were here, wish you were here, wish you were here

------ instrumental break ------

Someone's painting the leaves all wrong this year - wish you were here
Why did the birds change their song this year - wish you were here
They're not shining the stars as bright
They've stolen the joy from the night
Wish you were here, wish you were here, wish you were here
