(Benny Davis - Joe Burke - Mark Fisher)



(Oh, how I miss you tonight.)



Oh, how I miss you tonight

Miss you when lights are low

Oh, how I need you tonight

More than you'll ever know.



Each moment that we're apart

You're never out of my heart

I'd rather be lonely and wait

for you only sweetheart.



How I miss you tonight.



Each moment that we're apart

You're never out of my heart

I'd rather be lonely and wait

for you only sweetheart.



(Oh, how I miss you.)...
