Oh, I Miss You So, My Darling
(Bob Nolan)
I follow the pale white moon into the silent gloom,
Through a prairie painted in silver and blue,
Somewhere the wasteland plain
Shelters a grave by a lane
Where you’ve waited, Darling, I come to you.
Oh, I miss you so, my darling
And I’m lonesome, too, you see.
Let me stay here beside you
On the lone prairie.
You’ve guided me thru each year, you’re everywhere and you’re here.
Your smile is in the heart of the wild desert flower,
Your eyes are a-gleam in the dew.
You’re there in each moonbeam, too,
But still I feel the pain of this parting hour.
Oh, I miss you so, my darling
And I’m lonesome, too, you see.
Let me stay here beside you
On the lone prairie.
Now don’t you be lonesome, dear, I’m leaving the stars out here
To watch you till I come back when springtime returns.
I won’t be gone very long.
You’re part of my soul and my song.
Darling, can’t you see why my poor heart yearns?
Oh, I miss you so, my darling
And I’m lonesome, too, you see.
Let me stay here beside you
On the lone prairie.
Note: Bob wrote one more verse to this song:
Slowly the years pass by, lonesome and here am I
Waiting where you sleep by the side of the lane.
I’ve needed your tender smile,
Oh, for the longest while.
Little Pal, my heart can hardly bear this pain.
