I Miss You

Elvis Presley · Raised On Rock

Still I recall all the good times together
The love we shared, the fun and the laughter
How I wish you could feel what my heart says tonight dear
I miss you and I wish you were here

Dreams that I had they lay broken in sorrow
The plans I made the hopes for tomorrow
If I could I would tell you IÂ’m lonesome tonight dear
Oh I miss you and I wish you were here

All through the night I will see memories passing
The way you looked the sound of your laughing
How I long for the touch of your hand holding mine dear
Oh I miss you and I wish you were here

Lord, I miss you and I wish you were here

I Miss You - Elvis Presley

Released on the 1967 album Raised On Rock, 'I Miss You' stands as a poignant example of Elvis Presley's mid-career vocal versatility. The track showcases his ability to blend rock and roll energy with a softer, more melancholic delivery, reflecting the emotional depth he brought to his later recordings. While often associated with his earlier electric rock era, this version highlights a matured artistry that paved the way for his subsequent work in film soundtracks and pop ballads. The song remains a staple of his discography, demonstrating how Presley could adapt his signature style to convey personal sentiment without relying on traditional rock structures.
