The roses just bloomed in the garden today The water still runs by the creek by the way That old mother hen is refusing to lay Our bank note long over due Our family reunion is finished and done We all played horseshoes, but none of us won We all agreed that it could have been fun The Only Thing Missing Is you. [Chorus:] Missing one lover, missing one wife Missing someone who was part of our life It could have been perfect, a loved tried and true The Only Thing Missing Is you. The mailman delivers the mail everyday Those trash people still haul, the garbage away On Sunday we all go to church and we pray There’s nothing else different or new On Friday we still go and shop at the mall Were cussing the winter, and praying for fall This could have been the best year of all The Only Thing Missing Is You. [Chorus:] The Only Thing Missing Is You.
