With her excitingly expressive voice and 4-string (!) guitar, she occupies a niche that is no less unique than the stories she sings. Sara has lived these stories, is right in the middle of them and relates them from the heart - warm, personal and moving.

With this personal stamp, her musical and vocal versatility and the incredible warmth and clarity of her songs, Sara has created a fan-base in Germany that extends far beyond the borders of the guitar genre. Her desire for perfection, both in the studio and on stage, has also enabled her to sing and play her way into the hearts of the hi-fidelity gourmets.

First thing I see in the mornin′
That's you, babe
First thing I see in the mornin′
That's you, babe
What do you see before you have to
Look at me and

I'm lookin′ back at you, lookin' out

I′m lookin' back at you, lookin′ out
Oh, babe, me missin' you
Oh, me missin' you

I′ve got this wild, wide-eyed notion
This ain′t no wild, wide-eyed notion
What do you see before you have to
Look at me and
I'm lookin′ back at you, lookin' out
I′m lookin' back at you, lookin′ out
I'm lookin' back at you, lookin′ out
Oh, babe, me missin′ you
Oh, oh, me missin' you, babe

Lookin′ back at you
Lookin' back at you
Lookin′ back out

Oh, oh, me missin' you, babe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sara K.'s "Me Missin' You" convey the singer's strong intense longing for someone who is not present. The opening lines suggest that the person she misses is the first thing she sees in the morning, perhaps implying that they used to wake up together. The repetition of the line "What do you see before you have to look at me?" while looking back and out of the window, adds a layer of contemplation and introspection. The singer appears to be questioning what the other person thinks of her now that they are not together, and whether they miss her too. The repetition of "Me missin' you" in the refrain reinforces this idea of longing and sadness.

The second verse begins with the singer's wild and wide-eyed notion, which she clarifies is not really that wild after all. This could be interpreted as a dream or a hope that she has for the future, but one that may not be fully realized. The bridge section, where the singer repeats the line "Lookin' back at you," adds emphasis to the idea of visual connection, and how even when they are apart, the two of them continue to see each other in their minds' eye. The final verses repeat the refrain "Me missin' you, babe" in various permutations, and the song ends on a note of resignation and acceptance that the longing will continue.

Overall, "Me Missin' You" is a poignant and heartfelt expression of missing someone deeply, and the lyrics manage to convey this sense without being too explicit or overwrought.

First thing I see in the mornin'
The first person that comes to mind in the morning is you

That's you, babe
It's always you who fills my thoughts

What do you see before you have to
What goes on in your mind before you realize I'm here?

Look at me and
When you finally notice me

I'm lookin' back at you, lookin' out
I'm looking straight at you, but my mind is somewhere else

Oh, babe, me missin' you
It hurts me to be without you

I’ve got this wild, wide-eyed notion
I have an intense feeling that I can't explain

This ain’t no wild, wide-eyed notion
This isn't just some random idea, it's real

Lookin’ back out
I'm trying to look at the world beyond you

Oh, oh, me missin' you, babe
The pain of missing you is overwhelming

Me missin' you, babe
I miss you so much
