Postcard From Paris |
Dear friend of mine, the weather’s fine |
Today i saw some ruins of the roman world' decline |
And i climbed all those spanish steps, you’ve heard of them no doubt |
But rome has lost its glory, i don’t know what it’s about |
I wish you were here |
(when the shadows fall and all the rushing traffic stills) |
I wish you were here |
(and the bells are ringing on the seven hills) |
I make my way to a small cafe |
I wonder what you did today |
Wish you were here |
Dear one at home, i just flew in from rome |
And paris is a postcard all decked in color chrome |
And so i climbed the eiffel tower and prayed at notre dame |
But i just can’t find the romance and i wonder why i came |
I wish you were here |
(on the champs elysees, lovers walking hand in hand) |
I wish you were here |
(they take one look at me and seem to understand) |
This city of light is a lovely sight |
The first bright star i see tonight |
Wish you were here |
Now i write this from the plane |
Drinking cheap champagne |
Wonderin' why two people got so far apart |
I wish you were here |
(here in london where the rain is pouring down) |
I wish you were here |
(on this airplane headed back to new york town) |
I’ll never leave you alone again |
I’m coming home, but until then |
Wish you were here |
Wish you were here |
Wish you were here |
