Tom Shapiro - I Wish It Was You lyrics

[Verse 1] A car goes by and I see a face, a stranger's face in the window And I wish it was you I'm in a room, it's a crowded room, a friend walks up to say hello And I wish it was you 'Cause every memory that haunts my mind Is just another reason why [Chorus] (I wish it was you) The phone ring in the middle of the night The doorbell in the broad daylight A letter in the mail that I come home to (I wish it was you) When I see two people on the street Touchin' like they don't care who sees Laughin' the way we used to do [Post-Chorus] I wish it was you And I wish it was you I wish it was you And I wish it was you [Verse 2] I'll meet someone who could be the one, but somethin' always happens Before the night is through There's that certain look and that certain smile, there's that old familiar pattern And I wish it was you Tellin' me that you'll be back someday And I don't have to feel this way [Chorus] (I wish it was you) The phone ring in the middle of the night The doorbell in the broad daylight A letter in the mail that I come home to (I wish it was you) When I see two people on the street Touchin' like they don't care who sees Laughin' the way we used to do [Post-Chorus] I wish it was you And I wish it was you I wish it was me And I wish it was you [Chorus] (I wish it was you) The phone ring in the middle of the night The doorbell in the broad daylight A letter in the mail that I come home to (I wish it was you) When I see two people on the street Laughin' like they don't care who sees Touchin' the way we used to do [Post-Chorus] I wish it was me And I wish it was you I wish it was me And I wish it was you [Outro] I wish it was you I wish it was you Oh, I wish it was you
