- Songwriters: Richard C Giles, Susan Longacre
I live for the phone I die for the mail
I took your picture right off the nail
And put it right by my bed
So, I could see you instead
Of the darkness of night
I hold conversations with you in my mind
They only tighten this knot deep inside
And the aching won't end
'Til I hold you again, if I only survive
Why did you have to go?
Why am I missing you so?
One heartbeat at a time
I'm going out of my mind
Missing you, missing you
I started a letter, I stared at your name
There wasn't a line that didn't echo my pain
There was no sound at all
But the slow lonely fall of an unspoken tear
Why did you have to go?
Why am I missing you so?
One heartbeat at a time
I'm going out of my mind
Missing you, missing you
Life may take us
In different directions
But I always end up deeper
Deeper in my true affection
Why did you have to go?
Why am I missing you so?
One heartbeat at a time
I'm going out of my mind
Missing you, missing you
In the Know
