Missing You

Jim Reeves · Love Songs [BMG Heritage] [2004]

(Dale Noe - Red Sovine)



Missing you, can't help but wish that you

Were in my arms tonight, making love to me

Kissing you, that's all I want to do

It never seems just right now that we're apart.



I always spend my time

Just writing lines to you

Can't wait for you to write

Aaying you love me too.



Missing you can't help but wish that you

were in my arms tonight making love to me

(I always spend my time just writing lines to you)

(Can't wait for you to write saying you love me too.)



Missing you can't help but wish that you

Were in my arms tonight making love to me...
