I Wish You Were Here

I wish you were here to get underfoot
I wish you were here to get in my way
To call me from work, to call me to play
I wish you were here again

What did I do that had to be done
What did I say that had to be said?
When I might have turned and watched you instead
I wish you were here again

The monuments rise, the monuments fall
The papers all signed and turned into chaff
But I can recall the sound of your laugh
I wish you were here again
