Missing You
Brandy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Though I'm missing you
(Although I'm missing you)
I'll find a way to get through
(I'll find a way to get through)
Living without you
Cause you were my sister, my strength, and my pride
Only God may know why, still I will get by
Who would've known, that you had to go
But so suddenly, so fast
How could it be, that a sweet memory worthy would
Be all that we've have plan
Now that you're gone, every day I go on (I go on)
But life's just not the same (life's just not the same)
I'm so empty inside, and my tears I can't hide
But I'll try, I'll try to face the pain

Though I'm missing you
(Although I'm missing you)
I'll find a way to get through
(I'll find a way to get through)
Living without you
Cause you were my sister, my strength, and my pride
Only God may know why, still I will get by

Oh, there was so many things
That we could have shared, uh-huh
And time was on our side (time was on our side)
Oh, yeah
Now that you're gone, I can still feel you near
So I'll smile, with every tear I cry

Though I'm missing you
(Although I'm missing you)
I'll find a way to get through
(I'll find a way to get through)
Living without you
Cause you were my sister, my strength, and my pride
Only God may know why, still I will get by

How sweet, were the losses to spare?
But I'll wait for the day
When I'll see you again, see you again, yeah

Though I'm missing you
(Although I'm missing you)
I'll find a way to get through
(I'll find a way to get through)
Living without you
Cause you were my sister, my strength, and my pride
Only God may know why, still I will get by

My sister passed away on December 15th and this song is so touching and it fits how I feel about her. I listen to it everyday. I am missing her so much I can't even explain how it feels. This song is so appropriate for the love I have for my sister.

@user-ij3qr6cw8o

I know this feeling my sister passed December 2nd 2010 and her birthday is tomorrow. I thought it would get better as the days/years went by but it’s like it’s even harder
