I miss you
We knew we’d take the hardest road
Then we sailed across the starry sky
So you ask me to forget just how it felt to fly
Then like a stormy summer night
You left me feeling high
But when you left you took my soul
Now all I do is sit and cry and cry and cry and cry and cry
If baby I’ve got nothing left
That baby is because of you
And Oh baby I gave you my best
Oh baby now but I miss you oh I miss you
Now tell me is it hard to change
Hard to take just one more look
And when you come to turn the page
Is it the last one in the book
Oh its all gone its all gone baby
RPT CH If baby I got nothing left ...
Notes: This is a classic breakup ballad inspired by an emotionally devastating experience when my then-girlfriend left me for someone else in 1979. It was deeply painful and in addition everyone in my social circle knew about it before me.
This song helped to get me a 1-year publishing contract in 1985 and the band I was in at the time also recorded it to a pro standard. This is a home recording by just me in 2010 and I think the electric piano and blues guitar give it a bleak appeal
