Wish U Were Here

By the time you get this letter I might be doin' better It's kinda hard tryin' to survive In all this crazy weather Everybody wants my number Everybody's callin' my name But in the midst of all of this I can still hear you say Son, walk upright And straighten your tie You don't want one of those good jobs to pass you by, no Don't act no fool I'm watching you And now that you're gone, it still feels like you do I wish (I wish) I wish you were here To see the things I've done I wish you were here You'd be so proud of your son I wish you were here To celebrate with me I wish you were here Now all of these people ask me "Is it lonely at the top?" Or do I find comfort In all the things I got Well these cars keep me movin' These planes keep me high A million dollar home But I'm barely gettin' by 'Cause I miss our talks (whoa) One thing you used to say (used to say) When things got hard (hard on me) Get down on your knees and pray And then those walks (then those walks) It's just the simple things We still do all of this But only in my dreams I wish, oh (I wish you were here) wish you were here with me To see the things I've done I wish (you were here) You would be so proud of your son (I wish you were here) And that's all I know to say That's all I know to pray (to celebrate with me) Is that I wish you were here But sometimes I wonder why Why can't you still be here with me? Wish God would've waited a couple more years for you to see I'm tryna stay strong Barely holdin' on I know I'll see you again, but for right now, rest in peace And when I get to heaven First thing they'll say to me Tell me have you seen Estelle Marie Talley? Find out where you are Run into your arms Wrap your wings around me And whisper in my ear, well done (I wish you were here) well, well, well done, my son (To see the things I've done) well done, well done, oh (I wish you were here) (You'd be so proud of your son) (I wish you were here) (To celebrate with me) (I wish you were here) --- Wish U Were Here - Jamie Foxx
