She had her greatest success in the early 90s, and is best known for the hit "Promise Me" which hit Number 3 in the UK singles chart in 1991 and is taken from her self-titled debut album released in 1990. Craven achieved another five entries in the same chart over the next two years.
After first meeting backstage at a Tears for Fears concert, Craven married singer/songwriter Colin Campsie, and the couple now have three daughters. Campsie and Craven used to own the top & bottom flats in a three-storey house in London. When the person in the middle moved out, they bought the flat and converted the building back into one house. The family now live in Buckinghamshire.
She survived Breast cancer in 2005, and was given the all clear in February 2006.
Missing you
Beverley Craven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you always play a starring role
I'm just glad to have the time with you
It's the only place where we can go
I walk around the next day in a daze
Flashes of a feeling or your face
Three photographs, a letter and my memories
Are all I have to fill the space
Now you've gone, now you've gone
But I keep missing you
I keep missing you
Now you've gone, now you've gone
But I keep missing you
I keep missing you
Sometimes I laugh the way you used to laugh
Or say the things you used to say
If you can see me now
Just give me a sign
'Cause I can't believe you've really gone away
Now you've gone, now you've gone
But I keep missing you
I keep missing you
Now you've gone, now you've gone
But I keep missing you
I keep missing you
The way you tossed your hair
And fooled around
Will we ever meet again
Now you've gone, now you've gone
But I keep missing you
I keep missing you
Now you've gone, now you've gone
But I keep missing you
I keep missing you
Now you've gone
I keep missing you
Now you've gone
I keep missing you
The lyrics of Beverley Craven's song 'Missing You' depict a person struggling to come to terms with the loss of someone very dear. The song starts by talking about the dreams they have, where the person they have lost is still present and how they always play a starring role in them. They are grateful for the time they get to spend with them, even if it's just in their dreams. The next day, they walk around in a daze and try to hold on to the memories they have of this person they miss so much, but it's difficult to fill the void they have left behind.
The chorus of the song talks about how, even though the person is no longer there, the singer keeps missing them. It's a constant feeling that they just can't shake. The lyrics even talk about how they still laugh or say things that the person they have lost would have said. They are constantly looking for some sign or indication that the person is still present and watching over them because they just can't believe that they've really gone away. The final lines of the song talk about the possibility of meeting them again someday, and how they miss those little things like the way they tossed their hair or fooled around.
Line by Line Meaning
The dreams I have are unrepeatable
I have dreams that are unique and can never be repeated or experienced by anyone else
And you always play a starring role
You are always the main character in my dreams
I'm just glad to have the time with you
I'm grateful for the moments we spend together
It's the only place where we can go
Being together is the only place that feels safe and comfortable
I walk around the next day in a daze
I feel disoriented and lost the day after being with you
Flashes of a feeling or your face
Memories of you or of the emotions we shared come back to me in random moments
Three photographs, a letter and my memories
The only tangible possessions I have of you are three photographs, a letter, and my own recollections
Are all I have to fill the space
These possessions are all I have to fill the void of your absence
Sometimes I laugh the way you used to laugh
Occasionally, I find myself laughing in the same way that you used to
Or say the things you used to say
I even find myself saying things that you once said
If you can see me now, just give me a sign
If it's possible for you to see me, I'm hoping you'll give me a sign or a signal of some kind
'Cause I can't believe you've really gone away
I can't accept that you're no longer here with me
The way you tossed your hair and fooled around
I remember the way you used to playfully toss your hair and be mischievous
Will we ever meet again
I'm wondering if there's any possibility of us reuniting
Now you've gone, I keep missing you
You're no longer here with me, but I can't stop missing you
