Lyrics
When You Were Here
Words & Music by George Stock & Jon Beckwith Moore

Miss your smile
Miss your burning kiss
That tender touch
Those flaming fingertips
But most of all I miss your loving heart
How you always keep me reaching for the stars
Miss your eyes
Miss your emerald gaze
That soothing voice
No sorrow penetrates
But most of all I miss your sunlit mind
How you always keep my spirit on the rise
I?m not the man I was when you were here
I?ve lost my will, lost those nerves of steel
I?m in the grip of grief, of loneliness and fear
I?m not the man I was when you were here
chorus
Miss your strength
Miss your calm resolve
None of my problems
You couldn?t solve
But most of all I miss your gentle soul
How it always brings a peace into my world
Chorus
You?ve always been an angel, gracious and forgiving
Please come home, please make this life worth living
Chorus
