Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said i miss you and the times we shared.
I miss your silly smile.
oh i really wish you were here.
it seems like yesterday oh buts been awhile.
oh how i miss you now.
Sometimes when i lie awake at night i think of you as our angel a shining light.
I look at the sky above and say that it isnt right your our shing star we feel you shining down tonight.
When that time comes and we meet on the other side well be smiling then.
well forget all the tears we cried.
we keep asking why oh but nobody knows they say it was your time and i guess thats the way it goes.
IF YOUR LOOKING DOWN TONIGHT I HOPE THAT WE MADE YOU SMILE!
oh how i miss you now.
It doesnt seem right and it doesnt seem fair.
i often feel like it had a bad end ya.
i seen alot through your heart for reasons we dont know.
All i wanna know is how to let you go oh how i miss ya now
