SA APRA Country song of the year (placing)
The words sound like it is written to a friend and I guess in a way it is. But when I wrote these lyrics, I wrote them from the pespecitive of when you see yourself after a long time. After you haven't really "seen" yourself, when you were just existing. Before you knew it you had forgotten who you are, what lights you up and gives you your sparkle, a washed out version of who you used to be. It is a song about trying to call yourself back to your essence.
I Miss You
(Writers: Mark Drilling-Music / Jessie Che-Lyrics)
Verse
You know I never thought you’d loose it
How you always were the one
Moving free to your own music
And your own drum
Where is the fun?
Verse
Of the summers long ago
When we’d laugh and run and play
Now your beautiful bright colours
Are shades of grey
So now you are for sale?
Chorus
I hold you close, you slip away
Disappear more every day
I miss you, I miss you
Hold tight and quietly say as you
Disappear more every day
I miss you, I miss you….yeah….. yeah…..
Verse
If I took you to the places
That we used to love back then
With some warmth and happy faces
Could my friend, come back to life again?
Chorus
I hold you close, you slip away
Disappear more every day
I miss you, I miss you
Hold tight and quietly say as you
Disappear more every day
I miss you, I miss you…yeah…..
Instrumental
repeated chorus to end
I hold you close, you slip away
Disappear more every day
I miss you, I miss you
Hold tight and quietly say as you
Disappear more every day
I miss you and how I miss you
I hold you strong, but your gone
Memory goes on and one I miss you, I miss you
Hold tight and quietly say as you
Disappear more every day
I miss you, I miss you…yeah…..
