Oh How I Miss Him
Tammy Wynette · Another Lonely Song [Epic] [1974]
Through the dark and lonely night
Waitin' for the morning light
Oh, how I miss him
This cold and empty bed
It's a feeling that I dread
Oh, how I miss him.
There's a burning deep inside
Only he can satisfy
But he's not here with me
Two other arms hold him
Two other lips kiss him
Oh, how I miss him.
Is it just imagination
or should I of lost my man
So until I know for certain
I'll give him all the love I can.
But when he comes to me and love me
He sets my heart at ease
But until then oh, how I miss him
Oh, how I miss him...
