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
