Simple American Folk Song Lyrics

I miss you in the morning

I miss you at night

I miss you in the day

When the sun's shining bright

In my eyes, and I'm squinting

The way you used to like

I still look at pictures

From the day that we were wed

I still sleep alone

On my side of the bed

I have trouble sleeping

Without my meds

I try

I try

But I still cry

And I still wonder why

I still wonder why

I'm haunted by the way you left

Without a single word

I've been stuck in the moment

Devastated when I heard

The shock and the heartache bought on

By this curse

It's the curse of our freedom

The curse of our fear

Nothing has changed

Hope has disappeared

Everyday

The list of the lonely grows

I try

I try

But I still cry

And I still wonder why

I still wonder why

I miss you in the morning

I miss you in the day

I miss you in the nighttime

There's so much

I want to say

That I never got to say

That's I'll never get to say

I wish I could believe

Wrong time and the wrong place

Where are you supposed to be

At that time of day

We've all got a job to do

And a price we pay
