Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Missing you oh how I'm wishing 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'm always spending time writing lines to you
Oh how I wish you write and tell me you miss me too
Right now I'm missing you and how I'm wishing you
Were in my arms tonight making love to me





I'm always spending time

Missing you oh how I'm wishing you
Feeling the absence of your presence and deeply longing for you


Were in my arms tonight making love to me
Desiring physical intimacy with you and wanting to express love in a physical way


Kissing you that's all I want to do
Having a strong desire to show affection through kissing

Presently feeling a strong sense of longing and desire for you


Were in my arms tonight making love to me
Continually desiring physical intimacy with you as a symbol of love and affection
