Autumn leaves
Are falling down
On the empty streets
Of town
Since you went away
The colors seem
To fade to gray
And I wonder
Where you are tonight
Missing you
Is all I do
The days grow long
The skies less blue
I reach for memories
That slip away
Missing you more
With each passing day

Your photograph
Beside my bed
All those things
We left unsaid
A letter came today
But not the words
I hoped you'd say
And I wonder
If you
Think of me
Missing you
Is all I do
The days grow long
The skies less blue
I reach for memories
That slip away
Missing you more
With each passing day
The seasons change
The world moves on
But time stands still
When love is gone
I close my eyes
And there you are
So near and yet so far

Friends tell me
I should carry on
Find someone new
Before too long
But they don't understand
How tight you held
My heart and hand
And I wonder
When this pain will end
Missing you
Is all I do
The days grow long
The skies less blue
I reach for memories
That slip away
Missing you more
With each passing day

The telephone
Sits silent now
I still don't know
Just why or how
We drifted apart
Like ships at sea
Missing you
Missing me
