Missing
Nana Mouskouri · Other Songs - Nana Mouskouri
Beside you, I've no doubt, you're missing
Conspiracies of silence hide you, keep me out
They nearly had me believing that you did not exist
But I know you really left me and how you are missed
You're missing, the lover who was once
Around you has no news, you're missing
And even if by chance I found you, I'd still lose
For I know you're losing interest, instead of your
Heart, the world turns around and leaves me
Right back at the start, I'm back at the start
They nearly had me believing that you did not exist
But I know you really left me and how you are missed
You're missing, the lover who was once
Around you has no news, you're missing
And even if by change I found you, I'd still lose
For I know you're losing interest, instead of your
Heart, the world turns around and leaves me
Right back at the start, I'm back at the start
You're missing
