John Denver Lyrics for Song: Postcard From Paris (I Wish You Were Here)
 Lyrics for Album: Annies Song-A Collection Of His Finest Recordings [2006]
 
 
 
 23524>Dear friend of my mine
 
 Weather's fine
 
 Today, I saw some ruins
 
 Of the Roman world's 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's still
 
 
 
 I wish you were here
 
 When 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
 
 Paris is a postcard
 
 All decked out 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 walk 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 site
 
 The first bright star I see tonight
 
 Wish you were here
 
 
 
 Now, I write this from the plane
 
 Drinking cheap champagne
 
 And wondering why
 
 Two people got so far apart
 
 
 
 I wish you were here
 
 Here in London
 
 Where the rain the 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
 
 
 
 I wish you were here
 
 Wish you were here
