Oh I'm (missin' you)
The hurt on your heart
Through your eyes it shows
The past can't relive
What we both know
Still I remember
Things I never meant
Memories surround me
Won't let me forget
I was so wrong
The secret's not worth keeping
I had no faith
That you would still believe
No, now
My heart's in your keeping
Here I am
Missin' you
(Missing you)
Fear in the dark
Stares from my wall
Your eyes in your picture
Won't let me go
If I could remember
How you felt the pain
The king of pretenders
Alone in shame
I was so wrong
The secret's not worth keeping
I had no faith
That you would still believe
No, now
My heart's in your keeping
Here, I am, oh here I am
(Missin' you)
Missing you
Oh I'm (missing you)
You were there, now I'm here
You gave much more than I did
I gave what I had to give
If I could, you know I would
I'd make it up to you
Instead I'm (missin' you)
In the place you used to be
You were lying next to me
Oh I'm missin' you
Oh I'm missin' you
This song of the week can be heard on For The Love Of Strange Medicine.
"I wrote this with Tim Miner, which Larry Daulton did the string arrangements for, and conducted, and we
did that in Dallas. That was one of the songs that was written in a day. I love that song. It's kind of a nod
to some of my early influences - like Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye - some of the things that I just love to even
attempt to be as good as. Because those guys were the ones, you know? I tried to attempt to get the heart
they had in their voices - not emulating them as much as the heart in their voices."
- Steve Perry, Sony Press Release,
1994
