Postcard From Paris (i Wish You Were Here) Lyrics - John Denver

Dear friend of my mine 

The 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 its 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 colour 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 

Wish you were here 

On the Champs Elysees lovers walk hand in hand 

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 

Photos 

Now I write this from the plane 

drinking cheap champagne 

and wondering why two people got so far apart 

Wish you were here, here in London where the rain the pouring down 

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.
