The Joy Of Missing You

The Joy of Missing You

You’ve gone again
I stand here alone
My heart’s become heavy
The beating of stone
You promise me soon
That you will return
And when you do
That I will soon learn

Of the smile when we meet and we know who we’ve missed
The losing my breath for the first time we kiss
The feeling of warmth when I look in your eyes
The distance between this and our next Goodbye

The music more poignant
The distance has grown
My insides are churning
The butterflies flown
I have lost control
To the longing and yearning
I have lost my power
To the lesson I’m learning

Of the smile when we meet and we know who we’ve missed
The losing my breath for the first time we kiss
The feeling of warmth when I look in your eyes
The distance between this and our next Goodbye

All I ever want
And all I’ll ever feel
Is the proof that you need me
And our love is real
When you return
And we lie and we hold
I get my proof
Of our story not told

And the smile when we meet and we know who we’ve missed
The losing my breath for the first time we kiss
The feeling of warmth when I look in your eyes
The distance between this and our next Goodbye
