You Are Missed
Echoes from your pillow...keeps me awake
As I imagine hearing you breathing...my heart aches
So I cling to your pillow...on the bed
Then I reach out...but feel only air on the bed spread
I call out in the darkness...with a frown
But all that returns...is a hollow sound
I jumped to my feet...and rushed to the stairway
I felt your presence...in the hallway
In the family room...your perfume lingered by your chair
As I glanced at your impression...with a stair
I shivered...from the coldness in our home
As I looked at your photograph...by the phone
I walked into the kitchen...where we ate
I imagined you standing there...holding a plate
I smelled the aroma...of a roast in the oven
As my mouth watered...for your taste and some lovin'
Then the shadows returned...from the night lite
As I realized...I was alone here tonight
I returned to our bed...and crawled in on your side
I imagined your smiling face...staring into my eyes
So I wraped my arms around your pillow...where I lay
Then I seen headlights...coming up the driveway
As I opened the door I grabbed you...we kissed
Darling when your're at work.....you are missed
