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 j**els 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 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 compa** 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 k**ing 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
