Well, I wake up every mornin' Throw some water on my face I look up in the mirror I can see that nothing's changed I don't know why I go to bed 'Cause I never sleep a wink All I do without you here Is lie awake and think Missin' you Every night, I call your name Missin' you Every day the same old thing Missin' you Oh, what else can I do? The sun comes up, the sun goes down And I'm still missin' you I went to church last Sunday And I got down on my knees I sent up a prayer just askin' please Just to send down a little peace You know, lately I just walk the line To occupy my time But I end up where I started from With you back on my mind Missin' you Every night, I call your name Missin' you Every day the same old thing Missin' you Oh, what else can I do? The sun comes up, the sun goes down And I'm still missin' you The sun comes up, the sun goes down And I'm still missin' you
