Miss You Nights...

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
Lie the jewels that eye my place
And the warm winds
That embrace me
Just as surely kissed your face
Yeah these miss you nights
Are the longest

How I miss you
I’m not likely to tell
I’m a man and cold day light
Buys the pride I’d rather sell
All my secrets
Are wasted affair
You know them well

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

Lay down all thought 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
Yeah these miss you nights
Are the longest

-Cliff Richard, Miss You Nights

    Colin- you are doing a marvellous job in keeping the blog for Evan and for yourself- a time of growth, grief and new life. Evan and you are in our prayers and thoughts. Our days on this earth are numbered but we have an eternity to spend with our Lord God and those we love and miss now. This season will pass but God is good- He remains the same.
    Take care. God bless!
