Patty Loveless Lyrics
"I Already Miss You (Like You're Already Gone)"

(Jim Rushing - Allen Shamblin)

Oh, friend the hour is near you must go and I'll be here
To face an empty life on my own
I can't hide it when I'm sad after all the joy we've had
I already miss you like you're already gone.

If you could rock my heart to sleep with your breath upon my cheek
I could dream you'd be returning with the dawn
But when I face reality hands of time don't turn for me
I already miss you like you're already gone.

I already suffer with this pain in my heart
When I stare out my window my whole world's turning dark
In the time that remains I will try to be strong
But I already miss you like you're already gone.

--- Instrumental ---

I already suffer with this pain in my heart
When I stare out my window my whole world's turning dark
In the time that remains I will try to be strong
But I already miss you like you're already gone.

I already miss you like you're already gone...
