"I Wish You Could Be Here" lyrics - THE SEEKERS

Looking from my window
On the freshly fallen snow
It sparkles as it tumbles
Upon the street below
The crackle of the fire
Is laughing in my ear
The room is warm and sleepy
And I wish you could be here
Somedays in this town
There's not a lot for me to do
I've been listening to some records
And my thoughts return to you
I tried to read the paper
But the words aren't very clear
Oh I know there's something missing
And I wish you could be here

I keep listening for your footsteps
Or your key turned in the door
I sure could use your company
But we've been through that before
I think the winter's going to last
A long time this year
I've got empty time to fill
And I wish you could be here
