I Already Miss You (Like You're Already Gone)

Patty Loveless · Up Against My Heart [1991]

(Jim Rushing - Allen Shamblin)



Oh, friend the hour is near you must go and I'll be here

To face an empty life on my own

I can't hide it when I'm sad after all the joy we've had

I already miss you like you're already gone.



If you could rock my heart to sleep with your breath upon my cheek

I could dream you'd be returning with the dawn

But when I face reality hands of time don't turn for me

I already miss you like you're already gone.



I already suffer with this pain in my heart

When I stare out my window my whole world's turning dark

In the time that remains I will try to be strong

But I already miss you like you're already gone.

I already suffer with this pain in my heart

When I stare out my window my whole world's turning dark

In the time that remains I will try to be strong

But I already miss you like you're already gone.



I already miss you like you're already gone...
