In 2004 his sophomore album "Here I Am" followed, also produced by Dieter Bohlen and once again resulting in several chart hits, before Alexander decided to end the working relationship with Dieter Bohlen. Instead of the Bohlen-typical mainstream pop is his third album relased in 2006 under the title "Attention!" featured some rock influences. While doing OK business it was a often seen as a disappointment after the chart success of his two prior releases.
He then turned to the world of stage musicals and stared in the Berlin production of "Tanz der Vampire" ("Dance of the Vampires", featuring music by Jim Steinmann). When the show closed in early 2008 he released his fourth album with a new set of producers and for the first time featuring songs in German.
Missing you
Alexander Klaws Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That used to brighten my heart
I'll always remember
The silhouette of your face
I could never replace
Always runs thru my mind
How could I be so blind
To let you go I don't know
[Chorus]
Cause I'm still missing you
We should have been forever
Still missing you
Now we are so far apart
I never meant to let you go
And you'll never leave my heart
Cause I'm still, still loving you
And I'm still, still missing you
I know I made some mistakes
But tell me what will it take
To forgive what I've done
A million rivers I cross
A thousand miles I'd walk
To have you in my arms
If I could turn back time
To so long ago, I'd let you know
[Chorus]
I see that look in your eyes
Can't let go of your smile
You've got a piece of my soul
Somehow I can't survive
Without you by my side
Should have never let go
'Cause I'm still missing you
We should have been forever
Still missing you
Now we are so far apart
I never meant to let you go
And you'll never leave my heart
Cause I'm still, still loving you
Still
Still missing you
The lyrics of the song inquire about the regrets and longing of the singer over lost love. The initial verse is full of remorse as the singer in retrospect remembers the smile that used to brighten his/her life. They state that they will always remember the silhouette of the face of the one they have lost because it can never be replaced; it is an image that always runs through their mind. However, the lines also carry a sense of guilt, asking themselves how could they have been so blind to let someone so special go?
The chorus of the song is a repeat of the hook. It emphasises the heartbreak of the singer as they state that they are still missing the one they lost. The chorus also has a particular melancholic tone, as it highlights how they could have built a forever together in the past. The singer admits their fault, but they are now helpless. They cannot bear the thought of being far apart from the one they love. So, in their heart, they still long for the day that they will be together again.

I reminisce on that smile
I fondly recall the memory of your smile
That used to brighten my heart
Your smile brought happiness into my life
I'll always remember
Your memory will forever remain with me
The silhouette of your face
The outline of your face is ingrained in my memory
I could never replace
No one can ever take your place in my heart
Always runs thru my mind
I constantly think about you
How could I be so blind
I made a mistake by not realizing how much you meant to me
To let you go I don't know
I don't know why I allowed our relationship to end
Cause I'm still missing you
I am overwhelmed with the feeling of loss for you
We should have been forever
We should have stayed together for eternity
Now we are so far apart
We are now separated by distance
I never meant to let you go
I never intended to end our relationship
And you'll never leave my heart
Your presence will always be in my heart
Cause I'm still, still loving you
My love for you is still present and strong
I know I made some mistakes
I acknowledge that I made some errors in our relationship
But tell me what will it take
What can I do to make things right between us?
To forgive what I've done
I hope you can forgive me for my actions
A million rivers I cross
I would go through great lengths to be with you
A thousand miles I'd walk
Distance is not an obstacle for my love
If I could turn back time
I wish I could go back to the past
To so long ago, I'd let you know
I would express my love for you earlier
I see that look in your eyes
I can still see the love in your eyes
Can't let go of your smile
I cannot forget your beautiful smile
You've got a piece of my soul
You hold a special place in my heart
Somehow I can't survive
Without you, I feel like I am not complete
Without you by my side
I need you to be with me
Should have never let go
I regret letting you go
Still missing you
I am still overwhelmed with grief due to the loss of our relationship
Still
I still feel the same way about you
Still loving you
My love for you is still present and evident
