Missing You Tonight

(sung by Dale North)

after day is ended as the stars begin to show
though the hours are heavy and the minutes seem so slow
when you see the stars I see then darling you will know
someone here is missing you

when the separation seems a lonely cross to bear
look up at the skies and think of everything we share
look up at the stars and know that when you see them there
someone here is missing you tonight

while present circumstances mean there must be miles and miles between
please know that you are ever in my mind

and while we're miles and miles apart accept this message from my heart
those stars above you tell you I love you

when we next can kiss might seem eternity away
but it's not forever darling so until that day
look up at the stars and as you read them they will say
softly and sincerely burning bright
someone here is missing you...

we cannot kiss, we cannot touch, but though this hurts so very much
we know it's but a temporary thing
and to illuminate each night a million stars are burning bright
high in the sky, love, to send you my love

so, when you're in loneliness, and I am lonely too,
heaven's stars will signify my faithfulness to you
look into the sky and every star will tell you true -
lovingly in starlight burning bright -
someone here is missing you tonight...
someone here is missing you tonight...
