Lee Fields & The Expressions – Wish You Were Here lyrics

[Verse 1]
You never missed your well
Til your well run dry
Seemed like only yesterday
You were here smiling
Now you've gone away
But I know you're in a better place
No traces of you, what can I do?
Alone and confused

[Chorus]
How long (til I see your face)
How long (til I see your face)
How long (til I see your face)
How long
It's just not fair
Wish you were here
Spend all my days
Wasting away
Wish you were here

[Verse 2]
So I'm living life without you
And yes, it's hard to go on
'Cause your memory means so much to me
And I need to stay strong
Bad as I want you here
It's a shame to know you're not coming back

[Bridge]
I'll wait a hundred years, I'll cry a million tears
Till you're back, till you're back
Come back now

[Chorus]
How long (til I see your face)
How long (til I see your face)
How long (til I see your face)
How long
It's just not fair
Wish you were here
Spend all my days
Wasting away
Wish you were here

[Verse 3: Lady Wray]
I'll find the strength to pick my head up
Time heals all wounds, gotta get right back up
Miss you again, over again, love will not die
Walking the road, I see your eyes
I know you're here, right by my side
Wish you were here, over again

[Outro]
It's just not fair
Wish you were here
Spend all my days
Wasting away
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
I just wish you were here
I wish you were here
