Artist/Band: Kenny Rogers
Lyrics for Song: Missing You
Lyrics for Album: Buried Treasure [2004]



(Rick Giles / Susan Longacre)



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

'Til I hold you again

If I only suvive.



Chorus:

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.



Chorus:

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.



Chorus:

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...
