While working abroad, Larry wrote this poem about how much he missed his wife, Rose. Larry was gracious enough to allow me to set this beautiful poem to music.

Intro (4 bars)

Verse 1
The room is great
the waters 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 silouhettes
pass through a lovers moon
but my heart's a melancholy shade of blue

Cause the only thing I'm missing here is you
yeh the only thing I'm missing here is you

Chorous
I miss your face
your loving touch and your embrace
I miss your smile
I haven't seen in quite awhile
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
And 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 shows the way
guides a merchant vessel to the shipping lane
the captain blows
a warning sound
breaking up the deaf'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
yeh the only thing I'm missing here is you

(spoken)
I miss you baby
