I Still Miss Someone
The Earl Scruggs Revue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A cold wild wind has come
Sweethearts walk by together
And I still miss someone
I go out on a party
And look for a little fun
But I find a darkened corner
Oh, no I never got over those blues eyes
I see them every where
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I wonder if she's sorry
For leavin' what we'd begun
There's someone for me somewhere
And I still miss someone
The Earl Scruggs Revue's rendition of "I Still Miss Someone" is a wistful tune about longing for a former lover. The opening verse establishes an image of autumn, with the leaves falling and a cold wind blowing. The subsequent lines suggest that while other couples may be walking hand in hand, the singer is still feeling the emotional fallout from a past relationship. He goes out hoping to find some solace, perhaps by meeting someone new, but his lingering feelings prevent him from truly enjoying himself. In the second verse, the lyrics reveal that the singer was deeply in love with his ex-partner, whose memory haunts him wherever he goes. He misses the way she used to hold him, and he wonders if she ever thinks about him. Despite his sadness, he still clings to the hope that he will eventually find someone else to love.
