(Glen Campbell - Jerry Goldis)

Words put down on paper just don't seem to say
All the things I'm tryin' to say to you
Why is it that I'm writing the meaning slips away
And the lines just don't say what I want them to.

I've torn up letter after letter till the basket overflows
And still can't seem to find the simple way
To tell you that I need you want you and miss you
And wish that you were here with me today.

--- Instrumental ---

So I'll just say I love you with all my lonely heart
And wish today that I could be with you
So until we're together I'll think of you each day
And save all my love just for you.

I've torn up letter after letter till the basket overflows
And still can't seem to find the simple way
To tell you that I need you want you and miss you
And wish that you were here with me today.

And wish that you were here with me today...
