I Miss You Already (And You're Not Even Gone)

Faron Young · An Introduction to Faron Young [Fuel 2000] [2006]

(Marvin Rainwater - Faron Young)

Oh, I miss you already

And you're not even gone

The time has come you're telling me goodbye

And I know I can't stop you if I try.

I've had too many chances

Now I'll have to set you free

I watch you go, too late

I know how much you mean to me.

Yes, I miss you already

Don't know how I'll go on

I miss you already

And you're not even gone.

--- Instrumental ---

So kiss me once again

And please don't cry

And I'll promise

There'll be no more alibis.

I'll have to find myself

A way to face this loneliness

I watch you go, too late

I know I've lost my happiness.

Yes, I miss you already

Don't know how I'll go on

I miss you already

And you're not even gone...
