Missing You Lyrics - Kenny Rogers

(Rick Giles / Susan Longacre) 

I live for the phone I die for the mail 

I took your picture right off the nail 

And put it right by my bed 

So I could see you instead 

Of the darkness of night. 

I hold conversations with you in my mind 

They only tighten this knot deep inside 

And the aching won't end 

'Til I hold you again 

If I only suvive.

Chorus: 

Why did you have to go 

Why am I missing you so 

One heartbeat at a time 

I'm going out of my mind 

Missing you, missing you. 

I started a letter, I stared at your name 

There wasn't a line that didn't echo my pain 

There was no sound at all 

But the slow lonely fall 

Of an unspoken tear. 

Chorus: 

Why did you have to go 

Why am I missing you so 

One heartbeat at a time 

I'm going out of my mind 

Missing you, missing you.

Life may take us 

In different directions 

But I always end up deeper 

Deeper in my true affection. 

Chorus: 

Why did you have to go 

Why am I missing you so 

One heartbeat at a time 

I'm going out of my mind 

Missing you, missing you...
