From the recording Love, Loss & Letting Go
Description: This begins as a sweet song about a girl missing her man, with almost a 50s pop vibe—but it turns out that there’s a lot more at stake than a short separation. The last two lines pack a wallop. The melody is clear, crisp, and compelling. One listen and you won’t be able to get it out of your head.
Artist Fit: Ingrid Andress, Tenille Townes, Maren Morris, Kelsea Ballerini, Caitlyn Smith
Sync Keywords: Missing someone, emotional confession, breakup aftermath, longing, late-night reflection
Lyrics
The window’s cracked open,
The rain’s raining in though
I don’t feel like closing it now.
Alone in the darkness,
that’s where my heart is,
Trying to make it somehow.
Maybe tomorrow I won’t feel the sorrow,
Maybe by then I’ll be strong,
But right now I miss you,
Feels like you’ll always be gone.
It’s just what you have trained for,
To fight for the country,
It won't be the last time you're called,
You held me and kissed me,
And then boarded the plane,
You never looked backwards at all.
Now when I see you,
That’s how I see you,
That memory keeps hanging on.
'Cause right now I miss you,
Feels like you’ll always be gone.
The storm isn't over,
The night's getting colder,
I can't make the fears go away.
I want you to hold me,
And smile when I cry,
And say all the soft things you’d say,
Maybe tomorrow,
I won’t feel the sorrow,
I know that I have to be strong,
But right now I miss you,
Feels like you’ll always be gone.
God how I miss him,
Don't let him always be gone.
