I Still Miss Someone
Written by John R. Cash & Roy Cash, Jr. 1956
1
At my door the leaves are falling
A cold, wild wind will come
Sweethearts walk by together
But I still miss someone
Sing this chorus between verses:
Oh, I never got over those blues eyes
I see them everywhere
And I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
2
I go out on a party
To look for a little fun
But I find a darkened corner
‘Cause I still miss someone
3
I wonder if he’s sorry
For leavin’ what we had begun
Well, there’s someone for me somewhere
But I still miss someone
