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 are your face And the warm winds that embrace me Just as surely kissed your face Yet 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) Lay down all dreams and feelings 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 comfort I take each day as it arrives But these miss you nights are the longest But these miss you nights are the longest END
