I Miss You Already
Copyright 1991 by Deb Carpenter
The dance hall was crowded on Saturday night
When he walked through the door and brushed past my side
He asked me to dance, and he held me so tight
And he whispered to me that this felt so right
He said, “I love you already, and I don’t know your name
“But I know that I’d like to put in a claim
“To have and to hold you ‘til the end of the song
“I miss you already, and you’re not even gone.”
He twirled me around, as if we floated on air
He drew me even closer and his lips touched my hair
He promised a good time and it sounded so grand
But as our fingers entwined I felt the ring on his hand
He said, “I thought that you knew that this is just a dance
“You know I still want you, so give me a chance
“To have and to hold you ‘til the end of the song
“I miss you already, and you’re not even gone.”
The stars hung in silence as we left that dark room
I looked in his blue eyes and the question came soon
He asked me to dance, and he held me so tight
And he whispered to me that this felt so right
I said, “I miss you already, and I will for a time
“But this ring on your hand says you’ll never be mine.
“I’ll just have you and hold you ‘til the end of the song
“And I miss you already, and you’re not even gone.”
