don`t miss you al all
Norah Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I sit and watch the snow
Fallin' down
I don't miss you at all
I hear children playin', laughin' so loud
I don't think of your smile

So if you never come to me
You'll stay a distant memory
Out my window I see lights going dark
Your dark eyes don't haunt me
And then I wonder who I am
Without the warm touch of your hand

And then I wonder who I am
Without the warm touch of your hand
As I sit and watch the snow
Fallin' down

I don't miss you at all




I don't miss you at all
I don't miss you at all

Overall Meaning

In Norah Jones's song "Don't Miss You at All", the singer describes how she no longer feels the need to hold onto memories of a past love. As she sits and watches the snowfall, she doesn't miss the person who once shared this moment with her. Jones identifies the children's laughter as a reminder that life goes on and that she has the strength to move forward.


The lyrics suggest that if the person never returns, they will simply be a distant memory. Jones acknowledges that without this person in her life, she questions who she is and what her future holds. However, despite these uncertainties, she acknowledges that she does not miss this person's dark and haunting presence.


The song is a powerful statement of self-love and the resilience of the human spirit. It is a reminder that moments of struggle and loss can provide us with the opportunity to let go of those who do not serve us and to discover our true selves. While the song may be melancholic, it also contains a sense of hope and optimism for the future.
