Lyrics: Cliff Richard. Miss You Nights.

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 stud my heaven
Southward burning lie the jewels that eye my place
And the warm winds that embrace me
Just as surely kissed your face

Yeah these miss you nights
They are the longest

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 are 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 all thought of your surrender
It's only me who's killing time
Lay down all dreams and themes once remembered
It's just the same this miss you game

Yeah these miss you nights
Are the longest
