By the time you get this letter, I might be doing better Its kinda hard trying to survive, in all this crazy weather Everybody wants my number Everybody's calling my name But in the mist of all of this I can still hear you say "Son walk up right and straighten your tie You don't want one of them good jobs to pass you by Don't act no fool, I'm watching you" and now that you're gone, it still feels like you do, I wish Chorus 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 moving These planes keep me high A million dollar home, but Im barely getting by cuz I miss our talks, One thing you used to say When things got hard, get down on your knees and pray And then those walks, its just the simple things We still do all of this, But only in my dreams, I wish Chorus 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 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 Im trying to stay strong, barely holding 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 Tallie Find out where you are Run into your arms Wrap your wings around me, and whisper in my ear," Well done" Well....Well done my son, well done Chorus 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
