Missing You
No words we write can ever say, How much we miss you everyday.
As time goes by the loneliness grows, How much we miss you, nobody knows.
We think of you in silence, We often speak your name.
But all we have are memories. And a photo in a frame.
No one knows our sorrow. No one sees us weep.
But the love we have for you, Is in our hearts to keep.
We’ve never stopped loving you, We know we never will;
Deep inside our heart, You are with us still.
Heartaches in this world are many, But ours is worse than any.
Our hearts still ache as we whisper low, “We love you and miss you so.”
The things we feel so deeply, Are often the hardest to say.
But we just can’t keep quiet anymore, So we’ll tell you anyway.
There is a place in our hearts,
That no one else can fill.
