Featuring: G4
Songwriter: Dave Townsend
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 eye your place
And the 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 and cold daylight buys the pride I'd rather sell
(All my secrets) All my secretes 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'll take each day as it arrives
But these miss you nights
Are the longest
(Lay down) Lay down all thoughts of your surrender
It's only me who's killing time
(Play down) Play down all dreams and themes once remembered
It's just the same, this miss you game
Yet these miss you nights
Are the longest
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 eye your place
And the 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 and cold daylight buys the pride I'd rather sell
(All my secrets) All my secretes 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'll take each day as it arrives
But these miss you nights
Are the longest
(Lay down) Lay down all thoughts of your surrender
It's only me who's killing time
(Play down) Play down all dreams and themes once remembered
It's just the same, this miss you game
Yet these miss you nights
Are the longest
