Baby I Miss You

Elton John · Other Songs - Elton John

Time goes by, it seems so long

But it was only days ago when things were going wrong

What happened to the love, to the love we knew

The days we shared were so short and so few



And baby I miss you

Baby I miss you

Remember when it didn't rain

Will I ever see the sun again



And baby I miss you

Baby I miss you

And I only wish that I could share your love again



I thought about leaving for some new place

Somewhere where I, I don't have to see your face

'Cause seeing your face only brings me out in tears

Thinking of the love I've wasted all through the years
