I wish you could be here

Lookin' 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.
Some days 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.

(Instrumental bridge with wordless vocals)

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 got lots of empty time to fill, and I wish you could be here.
