Wish You Were Here
Blackmore's Night Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wish you were here
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish you were here

I wish you were here
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell,
And I'm feeling blue

I've got feelings for you,
Do you still feel the same?
From the first time I laid my eyes on you,
I felt joy of living,
I saw heaven in your eyes
In your eyes

Wish you were here
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish you were here

I wish you were here
Don't you know the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell
And I'm feeling blue

I miss your laugh, I miss your smile,
I miss everything about you
Every second's like a minute,
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away

The snow is getting colder, baby,
I wish you were here
A battlefield of love and fear,
And I wish you were here





I've got feelings for you,
From the first time I laid my eyes on you

Это, пожалуй, самое лучшее исполнение этого шедевра!

@TimAnd31

Очевидно, точнее ясно слышно, что это свежеперепетый вариант. И он однозначно хуже того первоначального конца прошлого века с первого альбома BN.

@@TimAnd31 гитара та же самая, а в вокале я почувствовал неладное)

Вам бы здесь побывать, да ещё вернуться к своим - вот самый крутяк!
