I've had many times, I can tell you,

I thought I had my share of that.
BbAmGmF
But these Miss You Nights are the longest.

Southward burning lie the jewels that eye your place,
And warm winds that embrace me,
Just as surely kissed your face.
Yeah, these Miss You Nights they're the longest.

How I missed you, I'm not likely to tell.

I'm a man,

And cold daylight buys the pride I'd rather sell.

(All my secrets,)

All my secretes are a wasted affair,
DmF
You know them well.

How to cut the thread and leave it all behind.
Looking windwards, for my compass,
I take each day as it arrives.
But these Miss You Nights are the longest.

It's only me who's killing time.

It's just the same, this miss you game.

Yes, these Miss You Nights are the longest.
