Story Behind The Song
My good friend Scott Novello went to St. Barths (French west indies) for three weeks to perform music. While he was away he could not believe just how much he missed his wife. She had asked him to write a song for her while he was away, and he did just that. Scott wrote the title wishing you here, with lyrics and a melody. On his retorn back we got together and completed and the melody and arrangement.

Lyrics
Wishing you here
(Vs 1)
Everything would be more beautiful if you were sitting next to me
Everything would be more colorful
If you were seeing what I see
The days I've been counting
The space in-between
Being with my best friend
Who's waiting home for me
But I still can't feel the sunshine
Hanging bright in front of me
There must be something missing
I'm wishing you here
(Chorus)
The moon would be brighter with you
The sky would be deeper than blue
There would be a mountain I would
Climb higher with you
(Vs 2)
I'm laying here in paradise finding it hard to sleep
Dreaming of you girl
Missing your body
I embraced the sweetest hour that was made for you and me a song to my best friend waiting home for me
But I still can't feel the sunshine
Hanging bright in front of me
There must be something missing
I'm wishing you here
(Chorus-2)
I'm wishing you here with me
If you were here with me
I'm wishing you here with me
I'm wishing you here
I called out to the stars did you here me then one shot across the sky was it you calling back at me
To hear you crying on the telephone
Was a pain I could not believe
Everything would be more beautiful
If you were here with me
(Chorus -3)
The moon would be brighter with you
The sky would be deeper than blue
There would be a mountain I would
Climb higher with you
With you oh with you
It would be brighter babe
The sky would be deeper than blue
And I'd get deeper into you
There would be a mountain I would climb higher with you
I'm wishing you here with me
If you were here with me
Wishing you here with me
I'm wishing you here
