Missing You Lyrics & Chords By Kenny Rogers

(Rick Giles / Susan Longacre)
I live for the phone I die for the mail
I took your picture right off the nail
And put it right by my bed
So I could see you instead
Of the darkness of night.
I hold conversations with you in my mind
They only tighten this knot deep inside
And the aching won't end
'Til I hold you again
If I only suvive.
Chorus:
Why did you have to go
Why am I missing you so
One heartbeat at a time
I'm going out of my mind
Missing you, missing you.
I started a letter, I stared at your name
There wasn't a line that didn't echo my pain
There was no sound at all
But the slow lonely fall
Of an unspoken tear.
Chorus:
Why did you have to go
Why am I missing you so
One heartbeat at a time
I'm going out of my mind
Missing you, missing you.
Life may take us
In different directions
But I always end up deeper
Deeper in my true affection.
Chorus:
Why did you have to go
Why am I missing you so
One heartbeat at a time
I'm going out of my mind
Missing you, missing you...
