Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Since you've been away

I've been down and lonely

Since you've been away

I've been thinking of you

Trying to understand

The reason you left me

What were you going through?

[Verse 2]

Ooh, ooh

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns

Ooh, ooh

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns

[Verse 3]

As I look around

I see things that remind me

Just to see you smile

Made my heart fill with joy

I'll still recall

All those dreams we shared together

Where did you run to, boy?

[Verse 4]

Ooh, ooh

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns (Tell me why the road turns)

Ooh, ooh

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns

[Verse 5]

Sometimes I've wondered

I didn't understand

Just where you were trying to go

Only you knew the plan

And I tried to be there

But you wouldn't let me in

[Verse 6]

But now you've gone away, boy

I feel so broken hearted

I knew the day we started

That we were meant to be

If only you'd let me

[Verse 7]

I've cried so many tears

Gotta face now all my fears

We let time slip away

I need you, boy

Here today

[Verse 8]

There was so much you gave me

To my heart, to my soul

There was so much of your dreams

That were never told

[Verse 9]

You had so much hope

For a brighter day

Why were you my flower

Plucked away (I'm missing you)

[Verse 10]

Tell me why the road turns (Tell me why the road turns)

Ooh ooh

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns (Tell me why the road turns)

Ooh ooh

I'm missing you

Tell me why the road turns (Tell me why the road turns)

Ooh ooh, I'm missing you
