I had a lunch date with a certain young, curly-haired girl with long eyelashes yesterday before my dinner with Gee. After lunch, I carried my date as she was already sleepy by then..and I started humming an old song I liked very much some 22 years ago. This song by John Waite, called Missing You, has a nice melody. I remember always putting on this song as I drive from Bletchley to either Steeple Claydon, Winslow or Silverstone in the England.
The song goes like this:
Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath
And I’m still standing here, and you’re miles away
And I’m wonderin’ why you left
And there’s a storm that’s raging through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles, and it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinkin’ about you, and it’s almost driving me wild
And there’s a heart that’s breaking down this long distance line tonight
I ain’t missing you at all since you’ve been gone away
I ain’t missing you, no matter what I might say
There’s a message in the wire, and I’m sending you this signal tonight
You don’t know how desperate I’ve become
And it looks like I’m losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning, though I’m trying hard to understand
And it’s my heart that’s breaking down this long distance line tonight
CHORUS:
I ain’t missing you at all since you’ve been gone away
I ain’t missing you, no matter what my friends say
And there’s a message that I’m sending out, like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can’t bridge this distance, stop this heartbreak overload
CHORUS
I ain’t missing you, I ain’t missing you, I can lie to myself
And there’s a storm that’s raging through my frozen heart tonight
CHORUS
Ain’t missing you, I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you, I can lie to myself
Ain’t missing you, I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you, I ain’t missing you
I ain’t missing you, I ain’t missing you, ain’t missing you, oh no
No matter what my friends might say, I ain’t missing you…
