Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The days are so long, seems ev’ry thing’s wrong.
For now I’m alone and blue, I still love you dear,
I wish you were here,
Come back and forgive please do.
[Verse 2]
Altho’ you are gone, still love lingers on,
I just can’t believe it’s true,
Awake or sleep, my though seem to creep, right back to the days spent with you
[Verse 3]
The days are are so long, seems ev’ry thing’s wrong,
For I’m all alone and blue,
Oh mother of mine, for you how I pine,
The nighttime brings mem’ries of you.
[Refrain]
Oh, how I miss you tonight!
Miss you while light are low,
Oh, how I need your tonight!
More than you’ll ever know
I made believe for awhile,
Hiding each tear with a smile,
But my heart won’t stop aching, please keep it from breaking,
Oh pal how I miss you tonight!
Oh, how I miss you tonight!
Miss you while the lights are low,
Oh, how I need you tonight!
I was a fool just to roam,
Leaving you there all alone,
For there isn’t another,
Another like Mother,
Old pal I miss you tonight!
