Wish You Were Here Songtext
von Zimmerman

It was the first of December
A Saturday that I′ll remember
2018 was the year
And now i wish you we're here

11:09 was when i got a call
I rushed to my call as i just heard about your fall
And at the hospital it all became clear
Now i wish you we′re here

So much that is happening
All the rest just lost it's meaning
I look down, I looked up to the skies
But i can't wipe the tears from my eyes

And tell me why is it so hard to cope
When there was nothing left, not even hope
Another day passing by
And the tears they still won′t dry


So i just keep holding on
No matter what, I′m still going strong
But I'm afraid that it′s all a disguise
To hide the tears in my eyes

But life isn't always fair
Should′ve been anyone but you lying there
All i want for Christmas this year
I wish you we're here

You taught me to play the guitar
Not the notes but how to play from the heart
And how you love talking about gear
How i wish you we′re here

We jammed for hours 'till our fingers bled
We kept writing songs when we should've gone to bed
(Hmm) those we′re the years
And i just wish you we′re here

Wannes Casier, i wish you, i wish you we're here
Wannes Casier, i miss you, i miss you right here
Wannes Casier, i wish you, i wish you we′re here
Wannes Casier, i miss you, i miss you right here

Hmmmm-hmm-hmm hmm-hmm hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm hmm-hmm hmm-hmm


Still i keep on laughing, but i miss you even more
Still they keep on clapping, the same as before
Looking for some answers, that's what I′m looking for
Looking for distraction, for a peace of mind
Looking for an answer, when the question is hard to find
Looking for some laughter, when a smile is not enough
Not knowing what I'm after, until I found what I love
I′m looking for a reaction, or a touch, or a tear
Wish i could make it happen, when i whisper in your ear
Still wishing you we're here
Oh i wish you we're here

I hate the idea of being older than you
I hate the fact that no one could save you
But losing you doesn′t mean that you′re gone
In our thoughts, in our thoughts you live on

54 days in a row
Each day a little closer to the moment you'd go
And on the 24th of January
You passed away, you we′re finally free

You we're always talking about taking that trip to Japan
You should′ve gone, you should've carried out that plan
No regrets, no more rolling the dice
From time to time, it′s just tear in my eyes

You are music, you are kind as your a friend
That is how you will be remembered in the end
All i want for New Year
I wish you we're here

Every song I sung, every song I sung
Every note I played, every note I played
Every book i read, every book i read
Every word I said, every word I said
Every pill I pay, every pill I pay
Every move I make, every move I make
Every breath I took, every breath I took
Every hand I shook, every hand I shook

Every song I sung, every song I sung
Every note I played, every note I played
Every book i read, every book i read
Every word I said, every word I said
Every pill I pay, every pill I pay
Every move I make, every move I make
Every breath I took, every breath I took
Every hand I shook, every hand I shook
Every hand I shook, every hand I shook

Every song I sung, every song I sung
Every note I played, every note I played
Every book i read, every book i read
Every word I said, every word I said
Every pill I pay, every pill I pay
Every move I make, every move I make
Every breath I took, every breath I took
Every hand I shook, every hand I shook

Every song I sung, every song I sung
(Every song that I've sung)
Every note I played, every note I played
(Every note that I played)
Every book I read, every book I read
(Every book that I read)
Every word I said, every word I said
(Every word that I said)
Every pill I pay, every pill I pay
(Every pill that I pay)
Every move I make, every move I make
(Every move that I make)
Every breath I took, every breath I took
(Every breath that I took)
Every meal I cooked, every meal I cooked
(Every hand that I shook)
Every hand I shook, every hand I shook
(Every meal that I cooked)
Every town I walked, every town I walked
(Every town that I walked)
Every door I locked, every door I locked
(Every door that i locked)
Every smoke I smoked, every smoke I smoked
(Every smoke that i smoked)
Every laugh and joke, every laugh and joke
(And every joke)
Every song I sung, every song I sung
(Every ocean I swam)
Every note I played, every note I played
(And every trip that i booked)
Every book I read, every book I read
(Every knowledge i taught)
Every word I said, every word I said

Everything forgot, in my heart, in my mind
In my ears, in my eyes, every low, every high
Every tear that I′ve cried, every movie I′ve seen
Every king, every queen, every cup of caffeine
Everything that I do, every wonder, every hour that's past
Every moment that lasts, everything and everything
Everywhere that I′ve been, and everything in between
You know what I mean

Oh Wannes Casier, how I wish you we're here
Oh Wannes Casier, how I wish, how i wish you we′re here
Oh Wannes Casier, how I wish you we're here
Oh Wannes Casier, how I wish, how i wish you we′re here
Oh Wannes Casier, how I miss you, i miss you right here
Oh Wannes Casier, how I wish, how i wish you we're here
