Missin' a man
Longing Melodies: Echoes of Love Across Miles
Lyrics
I wish he was here to brush
I long for him to be here and gently move my hair away from my eyes.
The hair back from my eyes
I desire him to express that I am more beautiful than any sunset sky.
Tell me I'm more beautiful
A wish for him to hold and kiss me every night.
Than any sunset sky
Expressing the emotional impact of the physical distance causing a sense of longing for companionship.
I wish that he could hold me
A desire for physical closeness, emphasizing the yearning for his touch.
Kiss me every night
Expressing the longing for nightly affection through kisses.
'Cause the miles between he and
Referring to the emotional gap created by the miles of separation.
I have got me missin' a Man, Missin a Man
Repeated emphasis on the feeling of missing a man.
Missin' a Man, Missin a Man
-I can almost hear him singing
The ability to imagine his voice, possibly singing in a carefree and unpolished manner.
Completely out of tune
Describing his laughter as loud and distinctive in a social setting.
Laughing so much louder than
The wish to physically feel his whispers against the skin.
Anybody in the room
Despite finding light, not finding him, indicating his absence.
I can almost feel his whisper against my skin
Repeated emphasis on missing a man.
But when I find the light
-I don't find him and I'm
-Missin' a Man, Missin a Man
-Missin' a Man, Missin a Man
Empty line, no specific meaning.
For some reason life is keeping us apart
Repeated emphasis on the feeling of missing a man.
I don't know why it has to be so hard
-Someday I know, it'll all workout
-But right now
-I'm missin' a man, missin' a man
-Missin' a Man, Missin a Man
-I wish there were two sets
Expressing a desire for domestic signs of his presence, such as multiple pairs of shoes.
Of shoes by the door
Wishing for the casual messiness of his dirty jeans in the living space.
I wish his dirty jeans were in
Expressing a desire to have typical domestic issues with him.
The middle of the floor
-I wish that I could blame him
-For the dishes left to do
-But most of all, I wish he knew
-I've been missin' a man, missin' a man
Repeated emphasis on missing a man.
Missin' a Man, Missin a Man
-For some reason life is keeping us apart
Reiteration of the challenges in the relationship and the hope for a better future.
I don't know why it has to be so hard
-Someday I know, it'll all workout
-But right now
-Missin' a man, missin' a man
-Missin' a man, missin' a man
-Missin' a man, missin' a man
-Missin' a man
-For some reason life is keeping us apart
-I don't know why it has to be so hard
-Someday I know, it'll all workout
-But right now missin' a man, missin' a man
Final emphasis on the current sense of missing a man.
Missin' a man, missin' a man
-Missin' a man, missin' a man
-Missin' a man, missin' a man
