Missing you
Leah Haywood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I get so lonely and there's no one to turn to
You know I try so hard to focus my mind
I see your smile and I know I'm wasting my time
I feel your arms around me
And I hear your voice in my sleep
And I know this must sound crazy
But darling I am missing you
[Chorus]
When the moon is high
And I search the sky
And I feel you right here inside of me
I want to be with you
And no memory will do
'cause darling I am missing you
Is there a day when you're not here in my mind
I seem to find myself just dreaming about you
Imagination sends me out of control
I reminisce think about the joy that you bring
I feel your arms around me
And I hear your voice in my sleep
And I know this must sound crazy
But darling I am missing you
[Chorus]
I feel your arms around me
And I hear your voice in my sleep
And I know this must sound crazy
But darling I am missing you
[Chorus: x2]

No matter how hard I try to remember our time together, it's not enough to fill the void of your absence
When the moon is high
During those quiet moments of the night when the moon is visible in the sky
And I search the sky
I look for any sign that you might be thinking of me too
And I feel you right here inside of me
I feel a connection to you that reaches beyond physical distance
I want to be with you
All I can think about is how much I want to be by your side
Is there a day when you're not here in my mind
I can't stop thinking about you and I wonder if you ever have days when you're not on my mind

Sometimes my imagination runs wild, making me crave you even more
