You’ll Only Miss Me When I’m Gone
by
Robby Richardson
You’ll only miss me when you’re low
You’ll only miss me when you drive alone
You’ll only miss me when our song comes on
You’ll only miss me when the day grows long
You’ll only miss me when you hear that sad song
You’ll only miss me when I’m gone
Let the violin play and let the note hang...fill my soul, fill all of me have it play like a melody
Will the rain cleanse my being...find the road I be seeing and cure the despair I’ve been feeling
Long drives and city lights or corn rows and empty roads
Under starry skies or in dirty rooms, you only fear the night when you miss the moon
I don’t even know where to go, I can’t stay warm when it grows cold
I don’t even know what’s real without you behind the wheel
We’re birds of the same feather...we belong together
Without you there’s no me without you I can’t be free
The one I could count on, but now you’re just gone
You’ll only miss me when you’re low
You’ll only miss me when you drive alone
You’ll only miss me when our song comes on
You’ll only miss me when the day grows long
You’ll only miss me when you hear that sad song
You’ll only miss me when I’m gone
And she said…
Will you miss me when...you’re alone on those long rides home
Will you miss me when...life grows tough that day when enough is enough
Will you miss me when...you see our show when the sun melts the snow
Will you miss me when...the nights grow cold when I’m not there to hold
Will you miss me when...the music blares when we’ve tossed away all our cares
Will you miss me when... the lights dim and the skyline thins
Will you miss me in the rain when friends fade at the trouble we made cruising till we found shade
Will you miss me when they say our love is wrong
Will you miss me when I’m gone
I’ll miss the times that we shared and the laughs of a perfect pair
I’ll miss those nights you kept me warm…listening to a perfect storm
I’ll miss the new music we’ll never hear, the people and roads we put in the rear
Every moment of everyday from finish to start gone from my soul but not my heart
You’ll only miss me when I’m gone and you’re...gone
The End
