Missing You
A Very Potter Musical Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Harry:
I can't remember dad
And I cant remember mom
Aunts and uncles aren't quite the same.

But I had him, and life seemed fair
Yes, I had him, and he was there...
To give me strength, show concern
Ask for nothing in return
Say hello, talk me through
Do the things that fathers should do...

And I'm missing you...
I'm just missing you...

Quirrell:
There it is, he's gone
He's hung me out to dry
The joy he said he felt, well, I guess it was a lie.

But when I had him, my life was fine
When I had him, he was mine...
He'd share his thoughts be, a friend
Stick with me until the end
Watch a movie, roller-skate
Fill the world with fear and hate...

Both:
And I'm missing you...
I'm just missing you...

Now I'm all alone
Now you're gone for good
Now I'm stuck right here
Wishing I understood

Harry:
You gave me hope
When my spells weren't right...

Quirrell:
You gave me someone
To hold every night...

Quirrell:   (Harry:)
And I'm missing you...
(I'm just missing you...)




I'm just missing you...
(I'm just missing you...)

Overall Meaning

The song "Missing You" from A Very Potter Musical is a touching duet between Harry Potter and Professor Quirrell. The lyrics express their mutual feelings of loss and loneliness for the significant people in their lives who are no longer present. Harry sings about how he can no longer remember his parents and how his aunt and uncle are not the same as having a father figure. But he remembers his fatherly figure, who was always there for him, gave him strength, showed concern, talked him through everything, and did the things that a father should do. Similarly, Quirrell is missing someone who was with him until the end, shared his thoughts, was his friend, and filled the world with fear and hate.


The song beautifully captures the universal experience of missing someone who used to be an integral part of one's life. Harry and Quirrell are both still reeling from the loss of significant people in their lives, and the song portrays an emotional range from sadness, grief, longing to regret.

Wow, Brian's and Darren's voices are both so soft and beautiful, and the song always gives me chills... and then Joe at the end always cracks me up.
