I talk to you but it's not the same as touching you

And every time you whisper my name, I wanna run to you

We'll be together, and it won't be long, it won't be long

But it feels like forever, and it's hard to be strong

CHORUS 1:

Baby 'cause I'm missing you now

And it's driving me crazy

How I'm needing you baby

I'm missing you now

Can't wait 'til I'm alone with you

To show you how I'm missing you now

Wishing you were here by my side is all that I can do

My arms around my pillow at night, they should be holding you

Thought I was stronger, how could I know?, how could I know?

I can't take this much longer

It's so hard on my soul

CHORUS 2:

Baby 'cause I'm missing you now

And it's driving me crazy

I gotta be with you baby

I'm missing you now

Don't know what I'm gonna do

The way I'm missing you now, oh

Baby I just can't wait

'Til I see your face

Chase away this lonliness inside

When you're close to my heart

Right here in my arms

Then and only then

Will I be satisfied

Missing you now

I know we'll be together, and it won't be long, it won't be long

But it feels like forever

And it's hard to be strong

Baby, cause I'm missing you now

And it's driving me crazy

How I'm needing you, baby

I'm missing you

Can't wait to be alone with you

To show you how I'm missing you

Missing you, missing you

Baby, I should be holding you, kissing you

I'm missing you now

Don't know what I'm gonna do

The way I'm missing you

Missing you, missing you now

And it's driving me crazy...
