"If I Were Only Missing You"

(intro)

releasing his saddle

he starts the coffee up

trying not to think too hard

of why he lost her love

looking at the stars so high

he longs to go to sleep

or be somewhere in Heaven

where the pain won't cut so deep

a drifting man without a home

he cannot help but miss her

all his life he'd loved to roam

now he's not so sure

(song)

if I were just missing you I might be able to take the pain,

but Lord, how I miss your smile, the memories of you,

if I didn't miss your lips, the fragrance of your hair,

I might be able to handle that you no longer care for me,

(chorus)

I'd just start the coffee up and see the stars so high,

a drifting man without a home,

one who's always loved to roam,

if only the pain didn't cut so deep,

I'd drift on off to sleep,

and be somewhere in Heaven,

(song)

Lord! How I miss your eyes, the beauty of your heart,

it hurts so bad to realize that we are so far apart,

if I were only missing you the tears wouldn't fall so hard,

if I didn't miss you so life wouldn't be so rough,

if only I still held your love, I think that I could bear the pain of love that we no longer share,

(chorus)

I'd always loved to roam, see the stars on high at night,

now I'd love to saddle up and turn my face towards home,

and be somewhere in Heaven,

(song)

if I were just missing you I wouldn't miss kissing you so much,

I wouldn't miss holding you or miss your sweet, sweet touch,

I'd tell myself I don't really miss you all that much,

if I were only missing you I wouldn't really miss your love.
