Simple Minds - I Wish You Were Here lyrics

Footsteps, I can hear footsteps in the hall

I hear footsteps, seems like I've been through this before

Some time has come now, some time has passed

But things still look the same

Is heaven all above, and paradise below

And the questions still remain

Ooh, can we see you?

Ooh, are we near you?

How could you disappear out of here?

I wish for something, I wish you were here

Footsteps, I can hear footsteps in the hall

I hear footsteps, it seems like I've been through this before

Well we loved you then, I guess we always will

We love you still from here

Birds of a feather always stay together

And never separate, no fear

Ooh, can we see you?

Ooh, are we near you?

How could you disappear out of here?

I wish for something, I wish for something

I wish you were here, I wish you were here

I wish you well

Footsteps, I can hear footsteps in the hall

I hear footsteps, seems like I've been through this before

If all the world was turning blue and gold

Like through your eyes so clear

The time has come to celebrate our past

And crystalize this sphere

Ooh, can we see you?

Ooh, are we near you?

How can you disappear out of here?

I wish for something

Ooh, can we see you?

Ooh, are we near you?

How can you disappear out of here?

I wish for something

I wish you were here, I wish you were here

I wish you well

There will come a day

Oh some day our day will come

Our day will come, our day will come
