wish you were here (you ought to be here)

what can i say

what can i do?

another day that i spend missing you

like a portrait with no face

a dancer with no grace

every night i pray

that love shows you the way

i wish you were here

you ought to be here

i'm sorry that i hurt

i've paid a thousand times

your absence is enough to

make me lose my mind

baby

can't you tell?

i've learned my lesson well

i'm fighting back the tears

the pain is so severe

i wish you were here

baby

you ought to be here

remember how we laughed

and how we played every day

you promised your love would last

and that it would always be that way

let's try and recapture

the good times we once had

the fun and the laughter

i need your love so bad

with love in my heart

i promised to do my part

i'm fighting back the tears

the pain is so severe

baby

i wish you were here

yeah

you ought to be here

i wish you were here

you ought to be here

i wish you were here

you ought to be here

sorry i hurt you

didn't mean to do you harm

come back baby

come back

we've been apart much too long

i wish you were here

you ought to be here

i wish you were here

you ought to be here

yeah baby

i wish you were here

come back baby

you ought to be here

i wish you were here

you ought to be here

i wish you were here

you ought to be here
