Wish U Were Here Lyrics - Jamie Foxx

1 [Verse 1]

2 By the time you get this letter

3 I might be doin better

4 It's kinda hard trying to survive

5 In all this crazy weather

6 Everybody wants my number

7 Everybody's callin my name

8 But in the midst of all of this

9 I can still hear you say

10 Son, walk upright

11 And straighten yo tie

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

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

14 And now that you're gone

15 It still feels like you do, I Wish

16 [Chorus]

17 I wish u were here

18 To see the things I've done

19 I wish u were here

20 You'd be so proud of your son

21 I wish u were here

22 To celebrate with me

23 I wish u were here

24 [Verse 2]

25 Now all of these people ask me

26 "Is it lonely at the top?..."

27 Or do I find comfort

28 In all the things I got

29 Well these cars keep me movin

30 These planes keep me high

31 A million dollar home

32 But I'm barely gettin by

33 Cause...

34 I miss our talks,

35 One thing u used to say (used to say)

36 When things got hard (Hard on me)

37 Get down on your knees and pray

38 And then those walks (then those walks)

39 Its just the simple thangs

40 We still do all of this

41 Bu only in my dreams, I wish

42 [Chorus]

43 I wish u were here

44 To see the things I've done

45 I wish u were here

46 You'd be so proud of your son (you would be so proud of yo son)

47 I wish u were here (thats all I kno to say, thats all I kno to pray)

48 To celebrate with me

49 I wish u were here

50 But sometimes I wonder why

51 Why cant u still be here wit me?,

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

53 I'm tryna stay strong

54 Barely holdin on

55 I kno I'll see u again,

56 But for right now, rest in peace

57 And when I get to heaven

58 First thing they'll say to me

59 Tell me have u seen Estelle Marie Talley

60 Find out where u are,

61 Run into your arms

62 Wrap yo wings around me

63 And whisper in my ear, well done

64 [Chorus]

65 I wish u were here

66 To see the things I've done

67 I wish u were here

68 You'd be so proud of your son

69 I wish u were here

70 To celebrate with me

71 I wish u were here
