Song Meaning
Amy Grant's 'Missing You' is a reflective ballad about longing for a lost love. The song captures the bittersweet reality of missing someone who was once central to your life, while still moving forward. Grant sings about the small reminders that trigger hope and memory, like a ringing phone or news of the person. The chorus expresses that missing someone becomes a part of daily living, even as you continue with the life you've been given. While the song is not explicitly religious, it carries a universal theme of love and loss that can resonate with listeners from any background.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Your smile lights up a room
Like a candle in the dark
It warms me through and through
And I guess that I had dreamed
We would never be apart
But that dream did not come true
[Chorus:]
Missing you is just a part of living
Missing you feels like a way of life
I'm living out the life that I've been given
But baby I still wish you were mine
And I cannot hear the telephone
Jangle on the wall
And not feel a hopefull thrill
And I cannot help but smile
At any news of you at all
And I guess I always will
[Chorus]
