I've had many times I can tell you Times when innocence I'd trade for company And children saw me crying I thought I'd had my share of that But these miss you nights are the longest Midnight diamonds stud my heaven Southward burning like the jewels that eye your place And warm winds that embrace me Just as surely kissed your face Yeah, these miss you nights they're the longest Lay down lay down all thoughts of your surrender It's only me who's killing time Lay down all dreams and themes once remembered It's just the same this miss you game Thinking of my going How to cut the thread and leave it all behind Looking windward for my compass I take each day as it arrives But these miss you nights are the longest Yes,these miss you nights are the longest
