i wish you could be here

lookin' from my window

at the freshly fallen snow

that sparkles as it tumbles

upon the street below

and the crackle of the fire

is laughing in my ear

and the room is warm and sleepy

i wish you could be here

sundays in this town

there's not a lot for me to do

i've been listenin' to some records

but my thoughts have

turned to you

i try to read the paper

but the words aren't very clear

and i know there's something missing

i wish you could be here

i wish you could be here

i keep listening for your footsteps

or your key turning in the door

i sure could use your company

but we've been through that before

the winter's gonna last

a long time this year

i've got lots of empty time to kill

i wish you could be here

i wish you could be here

i wish you could be here. here.
