Wish You Were Here

John Weldon "J. J." Cale (December 5, 1938 – July 26, 2013) was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Though he avoided the limelight, his influence as a musical artist has been acknowledged by figures such as Mark Knopfler, Neil Young, Waylon Jennings, and Eric Clapton, who described him as one of the most important artists in rock history. He is one of the originators of the Tulsa sound, a loose genre drawing on blues, rockabilly, country, and jazz. In 2008, Cale and Clapton received a Grammy Award for their album The Road to Escondido. more »

Wish you were here
With your diamonds
Wish you were here
With your pretty dress

Wish you were here
My heart starts crying
Wish you were here
But you're so far away

It's hard to live
This life without you
It's hard to live
From day to day

Wish you were here
No more crying
Wish you were here
But you're so far away

Wish you were here
There'd be no more crying
Wish you were here
But you're so far away
So far away
