I've had many times, I can tell you
When more than anything I needed company.
And children saw me crying.
I thought I had my share of that.
But these miss you nights, oh, they're so lonely.

Midnight diamonds in the heavens
oh, I know how much I miss your sweet embrace.
And the warm winds that caress me
Just as surely kissed your face.
Yeah, these miss you nights, oh, they're so lonely.

How I miss you, no, words could never tell.
And these lonely nights bring emptiness I know so well.
All my secrets are just wasted memories.
You're gone from me.

Thinking of your going 
Oh how could you cut the threads and leave me here behind?
The looking windward for my comfort
I'll take each day as it arrives.
But these miss you nights, oh, are so lonely.

I can't forget about the love we shared so tender.
It's gone, I know it's gone this time.
Forget our dreams and things we once remembered.
It's just the same this miss you day.

You know, thinking of your going,
How could you cut the threads and leave me here behind?
But I keep hoping for some comfort 
I'll take each day as it arrives.

Oh, but these miss you nights, oh, they're so lonely.
