Missing You

I live for the phone

I die for the mail

I took your picture

Right off the nail.

And put it right by my bed

So I could see you instead

Of the darkness of night.

I hold conversations

With you in my mind

They only tighten

This knot deep inside

And the aching won't end

Till I hold you again

If I only survive.

Why did you have to go

Why am I missing you so

One heartbeat at a time

I'm going out of my mind

Missing you, missing you.

I started a letter

I stared at your name

There wasn't a line

That didn't echo my pain

There was no sound at all

But the snow lonely falls

Of an unspoken tear.

Why did you have to go

Why am I missing you so

One heartbeat at a time

I'm going out of my mind

Missing you, missing you.

Life may take us

In different directions

But I always end up deeper

Deeper in my true affection.

Why did you have to go

Why am I missing you so

One heartbeat at a time

I'm going out of my mind

Missing you, missing you.

Missing you, missing you

Missing you, missing you

Missing you, missing you

Missing you, darling.

Missing you baby.

Missing you, missing you...
