I've had many times I can tell you br Times when innocence I trade for company br And children saw me crying br I thought I'd had my share of that br But these miss you nights are the longest br Midnight diamonds, stud my heaven br Southward burning lie the jewels that I obey br And a warm wind that embrace me br Just as surely kissed your face br Yeah these miss you nights, they're the longest br How I missed you br How I missed you, I'm not likely to tell br I'm a man, the cold daylight buys the pride I'd rather sell br Oh my secret br Oh my secrets are a wasted affair br You know them well br Thinking of my going br How to cut the thread and leave it all behind br Looking windward for my comfort br I take each day as it arrives br But these miss you nights are the longest br Lay down br Lay down all thoughts of your surrender br It's only me who's killing time br Lay down br Lay down all dreams and things once remembered br It's just the same, this miss you game br Yeah these miss you nights are the longest br br Songwriter: Dave Townsend
