I'm Gonna Miss You After All

Sawyer Brown · The Boys Are Back [Capitol] [1989]

I thought I would never leave you

Let you go where your life leads you

But I'm gonna miss you after all

I thought I wrote you off completely

And cleaned up my heart so neatly

But I'm gonna miss you after all.



After all these angry words and after all our tears

It's a wonder any love survived at all

But after all these lonely nights I'm wishin' you were here

I guess you never know you fell until you fall.



I'm gonna miss you after all

So I'm paintin the town without you

But everynight it just turns out blue

And I'm gonna miss you after all.



Theres lots of girls but no one like you

No one I can give my heart to

And I'm gonna miss you after all.



After all these angry words and after all our tears

It's a wonder any love survived at all

But after all these lonely nights I'm wishin you were here

I guess you never know you fell until you fall

I'm gonna miss you after all.



I'm gonna miss you

I'm gonna miss you

Looks like I'm gonna miss you after all

I'm gonna miss you

I'm gonna miss you

looks like I'm gonna miss you after all

I'm gonna miss you

I'm gonna miss you...
