Jamie Foxx - Wish U Were Here lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1]

By the time you get this letter

I might be doing better

It's kind of hard trying to survive

In all this crazy weather

Everybody wants my number

Everybody's calling my name

But in the midst of all of this

I can still hear you say

Son, walk upright and straighten your tie

You don't want one of those good jobs to pass you by

Don't act no fool, I'm watching you

and now that you're gone

It still feels like you do,I Wish

[Chorus]

I wish u were here

To see the things I've done

I wish u were here

You would be so proud of your son

I wish u were here

To celebrate with me

I wish u were here

[Verse 2]

Now all of these people ask me

Is it lonely at the top

or do I find comfort

In all the things I got

Well these cars keep me movin

These planes keep me high

a million dollar home

but i'm barely getting by

cause...

I miss our talks,

One thing u used to say (used to say)

When things got hard (Hard on me)

Get down on your knees and pray

And then those walks (then those walks)

its just the simple thangs

We still do all of this

But, only in my dreams, I wish

[Chorus]

I wish u were here

To see the things I've done

I wish u were here

You would be so proud of your son (you would be so proud of your son)

I wish u were here (that's all I know to say, that's all I know to pray)

To celebrate with me

I wish u were here

But, sometimes I wonder why

Why can't u still be here wit me?,

Wish God would've waited a couple more years for u to see

I'm trying stay strong

Barely holding on

I know I'll see u again,

But, for right now, rest in peace

And when I get to heaven

First thing they'll say to me

Tell me have u seen Estelle Marie Talley

Find out where u are,

Run into your arms

Wrap yo wings around me

and whisper in my ear, well done

[Chorus]

I wish u were here

To see the things I've done

I wish u were here

You would be so proud of your son

I wish u were here

To celebrate with me

I wish u were here
