I wish you were here
Al green
Lookin' out my window, Sun shinin' bright
Birds singin', tryin' to make things right
I've got good music on my radio
How did your love songs play from those doors?
I don't want no one to come in to catch me sigh
But ever since you left, said goodbye
I wish you were here with me
I wish you were here with me
Somethin' 'bout your kiss, gloom all around me
Seem like love is never gonna find me
I keep on looking for a, a brighter day
When all I see is time slipping away
I've got to stop and get myself together
All I can see is stormy weather
I wish you were here with me
I wish you were here with me, ooh
I've got to stop, get myself together
'Cause all I can see is stormy weather
I wish you were here with me
I wish you were here with me
I wish you were here, alright
I just wish you were here with me
Come on and walk with me, oh baby
