I Wish You Were Here
JOHN CREAMER & STEPHANIE K. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wish you were here, me, oh my countryman, wish you were here
Wish you were here, don't you know the stove is getting colder
And I miss you like hell and I'm feeling blue
Wish you were here, me, oh my countryman, wish you were here
Wish you were here, don't you know the stove is getting colder
And I miss you like hell and I'm feeling blue
I've got feelings for you, babe, 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 countryman, wish you were here
Wish you were here, don't you know the stove 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
Wish you were here, the stove is getting colder, baby
I wish you were here
Wish you were here a battlefield of love and fear
And I wish you were here
I've got feelings for you, babe
From the first time I laid my eyes on you
Wish you were here, me, oh my countryman, wish you were here




Wish you were here, don't you know the stove is getting colder
And I miss you like hell and I'm feeling blue

I remember everyone singing along to the vocals at the local after hours. Everyone definitely had a personal connection and a loved one who is no longer in their lives
