Miss You All The Time
This is my most favorite song right now. I have it set as my ring tone for 6:59pm every day which is the time my dad died.
I am including the lyrics below. It’s been two months today since my dad died and I have just recently been able to sing this song maybe once without crying. It is just beautiful and hits so close to home. I wanted to read parts of it or play the song at his funeral, but I wasn’t sure I’d be able to hold myself together.
I emphasized the lyrics that I really connect with and make me cry. Even reading them as I write this make me tear up. Grief is hard. Grief is unique to each person and circumstance. My heart goes out to you if this song touched you as it has touched me while I maneuver this new life without my dad in it.
YOU KNOW THAT I DON’T LIKE TO SAY GOODBYE
I DIDN’T KNOW THAT WE WERE OUT OF TIME
I’M SORRY THAT I COULDN’T SAVE YOUR LIFE
SO, I WALK
YEAH, I WALK
I GO TO PICK THE PHONE UP EVERY DAY
AND IMAGINE CONVERSATIONS WE WOULD SAY
BUT, I’M ALWAYS HANGIN’ UP THE SAME WAY
AND, I WALK
YEAH, I WALK
IN THE HOUSE WHERE THE HEART DON’T CRY
DANCING IN A SILVER LIGHT
AND I’M DREAMING OF YOU TONIGHT
I MISS YOU ALL THE TIME
ALL THE STARS ARE CALLING OUT YOUR NAME
EVER SINCE YOU WENT AWAY
THERE’S NO SLEEPING YOU OFF MY MIND
I MISS YOU ALL THE TIME
OH
MISS YOU ALL THE TIME
I KNOW THAT YOU WERE ONLY PASSING THROUGH
IN A MOMENT YOU WERE LIGHTING UP THE ROOM
OH, THEY’LL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE YOU
SO, I WALK
AND, I WALK
AND I TRY TO KEEP MY EYES UPON THE ROAD
AND REMEMBER ALL THE STORIES THAT YOU TOLD
OH, I’M SORRY THAT YOU’LL NEVER GROW OLD
SO, I WALK
YEAH, I WALK
IN THE HOUSE WHERE THE HEART DON’T CRY
DANCING IN A SILVER LIGHT
AND I’M DREAMING OF YOU TONIGHT
I MISS YOU ALL THE TIME
ALL THE STARS ARE CALLING OUT YOUR NAME
EVER SINCE YOU WENT AWAY
THERE’S NO SLEEPING YOU OFF MY MIND
I MISS YOU ALL THE TIME
YEAH
MISS YOU ALL THE TIME
I MISS YOU
I MISS YOU
I MISS YOU ALL THE TIME
IN THE HOUSE WHERE THE HEART DON’T CRY
DANCING IN A SILVER LIGHT
AND I’M DREAMING OF YOU TONIGHT
OH, I MISS YOU ALL THE TIME
ALL THE STARS ARE CALLING OUT YOUR NAME
EVER SINCE YOU WENT AWAY
THERE’S NO DREAMING YOU OFF MY MIND
I MISS YOU ALL THE TIME
OH, I MISS YOU ALL THE TIME
YEAH, I MISS YOU ALL THE TIME.
