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 I obey

Summer warm winds
That embrace me
Just as surely kissed your face
Yeah, these Miss You Nights
They're the longest 

(How I missed you)
How I missed you 
I'm not likely to tell
I'm a man in cold daylight 
Buys the bright eye rather sad

(All my secrets) 
All my secrets 
Are a 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 arise 

But these Miss You Nights
Are the longest 
Lay down all thoughts of your surrender
It's only me who's killing time

Lay down all dreams and things once remembered
It's just the same
This Miss You Game

Yeah, these Miss You Nights
Are the longest
