I missed you before you were gone for good
i missed you before you were gone
we used to walk the streets to reflect our mood
we swore our souls were like one
you slipped easily into my heart
and hopefully i into yours
we held hands and sang and ran under stars
and on the very first night we ever met
you tied a silk cravat around my neck
we could have been an item and i remember thinking
how good we two souls could look
but again the old devil of the potent medicine
stepped in and from me it was you who he took
he gilded you easy
but you did stop briefly
to look back
and catch my eye
and then you were gone, the door shut, my cheeks burned
but i knew it wasn’t an end
just another beginning
because i didn’t watch you go
with a broken heart oh no,
well practised in the art
instead i loved you from a distance and decided not to show
my love for you ever again
but i loved every time i saw you and i know you felt the same
you’d always want to stay with me at least for a night and day
we’d hold hands and walk the streets
to reflect our moods and we’d seek
one more adventure
and remember,
i will always remember
that is what you said to me
the last night we shared together
c’mon I want one more adventure, with you
and now i know i missed you, before you were even gone
oh i’ll always know now that i missed you,
before you were gone for good
so i’ll sing underneath those stars we saw
and run free with you in my dreams
out of all the adventures and experience
missing you will bring the biggest, it seems
