Postcard From Paris

Dear friend of mine the weather's fine

Today i saw some ruins of the roman worlds decline

So i climbed those spanish steps

You've heard so much about

But rome has lost its glory

I don't know what it's about



I wish you were here when the shadows falling

And all the rushing traffics still

I wish you were here

When the bells are ringing on the seven hills

I'll make my way to a small caf?br> i wonder what you did today

I wish you were here



Dear one at home i just flew in from rome

Now paris is a post card

All decked out in colored chrome

So i climbed the eiffel tower

And i 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 walking hand in hand

Wish you were here when 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'll wish you were here



Now i write this from the plane

Drinking cheap champagne

Wondering how two people got so far apart



Wish you were here, here in london

Where the rain is 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

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

I wish you were here
