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 slow lonely fall 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
