I Miss You

go where you need to go to find peace of mind
go where you need to know love, in kind
go where the monsters do not scream at you
go where the sun is bright and the sky is blue.

I will miss you sweet baby
I will wait for you to come.
I will miss you sweet darlin’
I will wait for you at home.

go where the stars shine bright so that you may see.
go where the moon turns white and in it you’ll see me.
go where the tears wash away, to swim the deepest sea.
go where the dolphins play, for a moment you’ll be free.

I will think of you sweet child
I will hold you close and tight.
I will think of you with temper, mild
I will hold you with all my might.

go where the breezes blow across your precious face
go where the seasons know the changes that you face
go where the rabbits live and bluebirds sing and fly
go where the rainstorms cease so you will never cry.

I will miss you sweet baby
I will wait for you to come.
I will miss you sweet darlin’
I will wait for you at home.
