They're not making the skies as blue this year - wish you were here

As blue as they used to when you were near - wish you were here

And the mornings don't seem as new

Brand-new as they did with you

Wish you were here, wish you were here, wish you were here

Someone's painting the leaves all wrong this year - wish you were here

And why did the birds change their song this year - wish you were here

They're not shining the stars as bright

They've stolen the joy from the night

Wish you were here, wish you were here, wish you were here

------ instrumental break ------

Someone's painting the leaves all wrong this year - wish you were here

Why did the birds change their song this year - wish you were here

They're not shining the stars as bright

They've stolen the joy from the night

Wish you were here, wish you were here, wish you were here
