john mcdermott – postcard from paris lyrics
written by john denver
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
