Lyrics
- The days are so long, seems ev’rything’s wrong
For now I’m alone and blue
I still love you dear, I wish you were here
Come back and forgive me please do
Refrain
Oh, how I miss you tonight
Miss you while lights are low
Oh, how I need you tonight
More than you’ll ever know
I made believe for awhile
Hiding each tear with a smile
But my heart won’t stop aching
Please keep it from breaking
Oh pal how I miss you tonight
- Altho’ you are gone, still love lingers on
I just can’t believe it’s true
Awake or asleep, my thoughts seem to creep
Right back to the days spent with you
Refrain
Oh, how I miss you tonight
Miss you while lights are low
Oh, how I need you tonight
More than you’ll ever know
I was a fool just to roam
Leaving you there all alone
For there isn’t another
Another like Mother
Old pal how I miss you tonight
- The days are so long, seems ev’rything’s wrong
For I’m all alone and blue
Oh Mother of mine, for you how I pine
The nighttime brings mem’ries of you
