I had been on a work assignment in Singapore for nearly a month. I was in a beautiful high rise 4 star hotel that would have been a perfect place for my spouse of 37 years to have been as well. Everything was perfect except that I was alone.

Lyrics
The Only Thing I'm Missing Here Is You (JP Bolcar, Larry Carr (c) 2008)
The room is great, the water's nice
There's a California chardonnay on ice
The view from here, on seventeen
Looks just like the cover of a magazine
The crashing waves, the ocean breeze
Makes the perfect setting here for you and me
I see two silhouettes pass through a lover's moon
But my heart's a melancholy shade of blue
'Cause the only thing I'm missing here is you
Yeah the only thing I'm missing here is you
(Chorus)
I miss your face, your loving touch and your embrace
I miss your smile, I haven't seen in quite a while
I miss your laugh, that always makes the darkness pass
I miss your voice, your point of view
I miss you
Yes the only thing I'm missing here is you
Oh the only thing I'm missing here is you
(Verse 2)
An old man holds his fishing pole
Working through the night
beneath the lantern glow
A lighthouse stands to show the way
Guides a merchant vessel to the shipping lane
The captain blows a warning sound
Breaking up the def'ning silence all around
The deep and hollow tone,
reflects my lonely mood
Just a few more days before
my work is through
And the only thing I'm missing here is you
Yeah the only thing I'm missing here is you
I miss you
