BARBARA MANDRELL

- Wish You Were Here Lyrics

I took a vacation down by the ocean
But it's no fun with a heart that's broken
Ooh, baby, I wish you were here

I see lovers walking on the beach at sunset
I turned to you, I guess I'm just in the habit
Ooh, baby, I wish you were here

I wish you were here, I gotta be honest
It's no fun alone drinking Piña Coladas
I wish you were here but you're with another
It's gonna be a long, lonely summer

If I knew where you were
I'd send you a postcard
Having a blue time, I'm so lonely so far
Ooh, baby, I wish you were here

If I knew where you were
I'd send you a postcard
Having a blue time, I'm so lonely so far
Ooh, baby, I wish you were here

I put on my gown, I turn all the lights out
Pull back the covers, I'm going to bed now
Ooh, baby, I wish you were here
Ooh, baby, I wish you were here
Ooh, baby, I sure wish you were here
