Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you were in my arms tonight
Making love to me
Kissing you, that's all I want to do
It never seems just right now that we are apart
I always spend my time just writing lines to you
Can't wait for you to write sayin' you love me too
Missing you, can't help but wish
Making love to me
Missing you, can't help but wish
That you were in my arms tonight
Making love to me
Kissing you, that's all I want to do
It never seems just right now that we are apart
I always spend my time just writing lines to you
Can't wait for you to write sayin' you love me too
Missing you, can't help but wish
That you were in my arms tonight
Making love to me
The opening line of “Missing You” by Patsy Cline and Jim Reeves captures the essence of the song. The lines, “Missing you, can't help but wish that you were in my arms tonight making love to me” express the overwhelming feeling of loneliness, longing, and yearning for the lover who is far away. This is an age-old theme in poetry and music, but the songwriters have added their unique touch to it.
The lyrics convey the idea that time and distance seem to be endless when two people who truly love each other are apart. The lines, “It never seems just right now that we are apart,” express the melancholy feeling that the singer is experiencing due to the separation. The writer's effort to fill the void created by the distance is evident in the line, “I always spend my time just writing lines to you. Can't wait for you to write saying you love me too.”
The lyrics are a beautiful expression of a couple's longing for each other. The song captures the essence of true love, where distance makes the heart grow fonder, but it also creates unbearable longing. The theme of the song is beautifully expressed and performed by Patsy Cline and Jim Reeves.

Lyrics:
Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue
Have you ever loved someone
Just as I love you
Can't you see I'm sorry
For each mistake I've made
Can't you see I've changed, dear
Can't you see I've paid
Be a little forgiving
Take me back in your heart
How can I go on living
Now that we're apart
If you knew what I've been through
Then you'd know why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue
Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue
Have you ever loved someone
Just as I love you
Can't you see that I'm sorry
For each mistake I made
Can't you see I've changed, dear
Can't you see that I've paid
Oh, be a little forgivin'
Take me back in your heart
How can I go on livin'
Now that we're apart
If you knew what I been through
You would know why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue
Be a little forgivin'
Take me back in your heart
How can I go on livin'
Now that we're apart
If you knew what I been through
You would know why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue

Two greatest who ever sung a song. I got to meet Jim's wife in Nashville back in the 90s what a delight. She treated me as if she had known me all my life. We became friends.

I'm 53 and they are both of my favorite singers.

Two of the most perfect voices together. Jim and Patsy. Incredible talents that have continued over the years. Music, no matter what kind of music doesn't get any better than this.
