Wish U Were Here

By the time you get this letter, I might be doing better

Its kinda hard trying to survive, in all this crazy weather

Everybody wants my number

Everybody's calling my name

But in the mist of all of this I can still hear you say

"Son walk up right and straighten your tie

You don't want one of them good jobs to pass you by

Don't act no fool, I'm watching you"

and now that you're gone, it still feels like you do, I wish

Chorus

I wish you were here

To see the things I've done

I wish you were here

You'd be so proud of your son

I wish you were here

To celebrate with me

I wish you were here

Now all of these people ask me, Is it lonely at the top

Or do I find comfort in all the things I got

Well these cars keep me moving

These planes keep me high

A million dollar home, but Im barely getting by cuz

I miss our talks, One thing you used to say

When things got hard, get down on your knees and pray

And then those walks, its just the simple things

We still do all of this, But only in my dreams, I wish

Chorus

I wish you were here

To see the things I've done

I wish you were here

You'd be so proud of your son

I wish you were here

To celebrate with me

I wish you were here

But sometimes I wonder why

why can't you still be here with me

wish God would've waited, a couple more years for you to see

Im trying to stay strong, barely holding on

I know I'll see you again

But for right now rest in peace

And when I get to heaven, first thing they'll say to me

Tell me have you seen Estelle Marie Tallie

Find out where you are

Run into your arms

Wrap your wings around me, and whisper in my ear," Well done"

Well....Well done my son, well done

Chorus

I wish you were here

To see the things I've done

I wish you were here

You'd be so proud of your son

I wish you were here

To celebrate with me

I wish you were here
