Seekers - I Wish You Could Be Here lyrics

Looking 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. Somedays 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) 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've got empty time to fill And I wish you could be here.
