I Wish You Were Here
Malvina Reynolds
[Verse 1]
I wish you were here to get underfoot
I wish you were here to get in my way
To call me from work, to call me to play
I wish you were here again
[Verse 2]
Oh, what did I do, that had to be done?
And what did I read, that had to be read?
When I might have turned to watch you instead
I wish you were here again
[Verse 3]
The monuments rise, the monuments fall
The papers are signed and turn into chaff
But I still recall the sound of your laugh
I wish you were here again
[Verse 1]
I wish you were here to get underfoot
I wish you were here to get in my way
To call me from work, to call me to play
I wish you were here again
