Lyrics
Love of mine, lost in time, out there on your own,
'Wish you could, 'wish you would find your way back home.
'Cause I hear your voice at night, it's always in my mind.
'Wish I could sing you home tonight with this 'miss you' lullaby.
Days gone by, my oh my, how we let them pass.
Day by day, slipped away, barely in our grasp.
Still I hear your voice at night, it's always in my mind.
'Wish I could sing you home tonight with this 'miss you' lullaby.
Dream of home, dream of me.
When your roaming days are through, I'll still be here for you.
So good night, and sleep tight, when you think of me.
'Was a time, we had the rhyme, 'had the harmony.
That's why I hear your voice at night, you're always in my mind.
'Wish I could sing you home tonight, with this 'miss you' lullaby.
With this 'miss you' lullaby.
