I Miss You
Kylie Minogue · 50 1 [1997]
As soon as I wake up
I'm starting to think of only you
I read all your letters
Over and over and over
I go to the mirror
Next to the photograph of you
I know it sounds crazy
It brings me much closer to you
I know you'll be back one day
I only behave this way
CHORUS:
'Cos I miss you
Yeah I miss you
Said I miss you
Yeah I miss you
They tell me I daydream
But all my dreams are only you
I look throught the window
And wish I could be with you
They say that I'm wasting time
But I can't get you off my mind
CHORUS:
Over and over
I'm happy to be this way
And in the evening
I lie on the bed and think of you
I hug my pillow
And make believe it's really you
I don't care what people say
I'm happy to be this way
CHORUS:
repeat & fade
I'm starting to think of only you
I read all your letters
Over and over and over
I go to the mirror
Next to the photograph of you
I know it sounds crazy
It brings me much closer to you
I know you'll be back one day
I only behave this way
CHORUS:
'Cos I miss you
Yeah I miss you
Said I miss you
Yeah I miss you
They tell me I daydream
But all my dreams are only you
I look throught the window
And wish I could be with you
They say that I'm wasting time
But I can't get you off my mind
CHORUS:
Over and over
I'm happy to be this way
And in the evening
I lie on the bed and think of you
I hug my pillow
And make believe it's really you
I don't care what people say
I'm happy to be this way
CHORUS:
repeat & fade
I Miss You
