Wish You Were Here
V.A - Chillout Tribute to Pink Floyd (2006) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

WHEN WE WERE TINY LITTLE BOYS
WE USE TO DANCE, WE USE TO SING
BEFORE WE EVEN LEARNED TO CRAWL OR WALK

AS WE GREW UP WE DIDN'T CHANGE
I GUESS WE KNEW RIGHT FROM THE START
WE'D LOVED THE SPOTLIGHT AND THE STAGE
CAUSE WE WERE BORN TO ENTERTAIN

AND WHEN WE WALK OUT ON THE STAGE
THE WAY WE FEEL DEEP INSIDE
IS SOMETHING MAGIC WHEN THE MUSIC STARTS TO PLAY

WE WANNA BRING A LITTLE HAPPINESS AND LOVE INTO YOUR LIVES
FORGET ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS AND YOUR TROUBLES FOR A LITTLE WHILE

WE'RE HERE TO ENTERTAIN YOU
ON STAGE RIGHT NOW
WE'RE HERE TO ENTERTAIN YOU
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW
WE LIKE TO DANCE, WE LIKE TO SING
AND DO OUR THING
WE LIKE TO DANCE, WE LIKE TO SING
WE LIKE TO DO OUR THING

THERE'S NO BUSINESS
LIKE SHOW BUSINESS
THERE'S NO BUSINESS
LIKE SHOW BUSINESS

WE'RE HERE TO ENTERTAIN YOU
ON STAGE RIGHT NOW
WE'RE HERE TO ENTERTAIN YOU
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW
ON STAGE RIGHT NOW

RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW
ON STAGE RIGHT NOW
