From the recording Beautiful

I used to have this recurring dream of a girl who loved me so much, I would cry when I woke up because I missed her.

With that in mind, and another chapter ending in my life, I sat down on a sectional sofa that was the last piece of furniture left in my condo I rented in Cocoa Beach, FL. My wife had taken her things and moved out the month before, and I was leaving the next day. I remembered my dreams, and as I sat there, staring out into the purples and pinks and grays of a coastal summer sunset, I wrote this song.

Lyrics

I miss you
oh, I miss you
I know it sounds crazy
because i've never met you
but , my god, how I miss you

i've been running 'round
this crazy world
just looking for clues about you
and i die a little every day
having to live without you
i miss you
my god, how I miss you

i need you
oh, I need you
i know it sounds crazy
but nothing could be more true
than just how much i need you

i've been running 'round
this crazy world
just looking for clues about you
and i die a little every day
having to live without you
i need you
my god, how I need you

though I may never be by your side
i only hope I will before I die
i've dreamt about you from when I was young
and you've been in every song I've sung
though I've never touched your face
or felt the warmth of your embrace
oh...my.... god

I miss you
oh, i miss you
i miss you
my god, how I miss you
