Sittin on my bed a thinkin
Thinking that my heart is sinkin
Everyday the world goes by
With you gone
All I do is dream about you
Living aint a life with out you
Honey can you find it in you 
To come back home
Never miss a real good thing
I know what it means
Never see the light of day
til it goes away
Never want a drink of water
Til the well runs dry
Never miss a real good thing
Til he says good-bye
I guess you must of had your reasons
Maybe you were right in leavin
I know you never found yourself
In what we had
And honey you've a right to blame me
Maybe even time would change me
Can't you see the good thats in me
And over look the bad
Never miss a real good thing
I know what it means
Never see the light of day
til it goes away
Never want a drink of water
Til the well runs dry
Never miss a real good thing
Til he says good-bye
Never miss a real good thing
I know what it means
Never see the light of day
til it goes away
Never want a drink of water
Til the well runs dry
Never miss a real good thing
Til he says good-bye
