postcard from paris - jimmy webb lyrics

Loading...

dear friend of mine, the weather’s fine
today i saw some ruins of the roman world’s decline
and i climbed up those spanish steps, you’ve heard of them no doubt
but rome has lost it’s glory, i don’t know what it’s about

(and i wish you were here)
when the shadows fall and all the rushing traffic stills
(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
i wish you were here

dear one at home, i just flew in from rome
and 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

(and i wish you were here)
on the champs*élysées, lovers walking hand in hand
(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
i wish you were here
now i write this from the plane
drinking cheap champagne
wonderin’ why two people got so far apart

(and i wish you were here)
here in london where the rain is pouring down
(wish you were here)
on this airplane headed back to new york
i’ll never leave you alone again
i’m coming home, but until then
i wish you were here
i wish you were here
i wish you were here

i wish you were here, baby
i’ve been all around this great big world, all on my own
(wish you were here)
i’m gonna let in a goat when you try to mow the lawn
(wish you were here)
you people talking on the tower about that taj mahal
(wish you were here)
when you get up close and it ain’t much of anything at all

went down to costa rica to a little place called taqueria
didn’t do much but sit around and think about you all day
mmm, mmm, mmm..
