Miss You Nights - Cliff Richard

I’ve had many times, I can tell you

Times when innocence I’d trade for company

And children saw me crying

I thought I’d had my share of that

But these miss you nights

Are the longest

Midnight diamonds (midnight diamonds)

Stud my heaven (stud my heaven)

Southward burning

Lie the jewels that eye my place

And the warm winds (and the warm winds)

That embrace me (that embrace me)

Just as surely kissed your face

Yeah these miss you nights

They’re the longest

(How I missed you) How I missed you

I’m not likely to tell

I’m a man

And cold day light buys the pride I’d rather sell

(All my secrets) All my secrets

Are a wasted affair

You know them well

Thinking of my going

How to cut the thread

And leave it all behind

Looking windward for my compass

I take each day as it arrives

But these miss you nights

Are the longest

(Lay down) Lay down all thoughts of your surrender

It’s only me who’s killing time

(Lay down) Lay down all dreams and themes once remembered

It’s just the same

This miss you game

Yeah these miss you nights
