Story Behind The Song
This song was written while recalling a tour through NYC's Hayden Planetarium, and gazing up at the expansive ceiling's recreation of the universe. Only when I attempted to put words to it, did I come up with the title, and it's melancholy theme, remembering loved ones who have gone on.

Lyrics
CHORUS
Miss you by the hour,
miss you everyday.
Seems like such a long time,
since you've been away.
Miss you by the hour,
miss you everyday.
Every waking moment,
every word I say.
VERSE 1
Miss you by the hour,
an eternity.
Counting every hour,
'til you rescue me.
Staring at your picture,
habits do die hard.
Coping with emptiness
and a lonely heart.
CHORUS
Miss you by the hour,
miss you everyday.
Everlasting memories,
like a sweet bouquet.
Miss you by the hour,
miss you everyday.
Hard to live without what,
once was my mainstay.
VERSE 2
Miss you by the hour,
days turn into night.
Shadows color memories,
in the waning light.
Days just go by faster,
how the year has past.
Always in a rush, but
going nowhere fast.
BRIDGE
Tell me why such loneliness,
it just lingers on.
It has been now seven years,
all my hope is gone.
Maybe I could, just deny
if my feelings, were all lies,
It might help me, to get by
another day.
CHORUS
Miss you by the hour,
miss you everyday.
Seems like such a long time,
since you've been away.
VERSE 3
Miss you by the hour,
my heart filled with glee.
That you took a moment,
just to shine on me.
CHORUS (6x)
Miss you by the hour,
miss you everyday.
Miss you by the hour.
