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<br />
