| Lyrics - John Waite - Missing You Lyrics |
Missing You
Artist: John Waite & Allison Krauss
Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
I wonder where you're at
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name
In certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it's almost driving me mad
And there's a heart thats breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter what
My friends say
There's a message in the wild
And I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know
How desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing my mind
In your world
I have no meaning
So I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter what
My friends say
And there's a message that I'm sending
Like a telegraph to your heart
And If I can break this secret
I'll break, overload
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone
I ain't missing you
No matter what
My friends say
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you
I can lie to myself
(repeat)
