Merle Haggard's 'Still Missing You' is a country ballad about enduring heartache and longing after a relationship ends. The narrator describes sleepless nights, working through the day, and returning to a lonely bed where tears fall while thinking of the lost love. Friends suggest time will heal, but the depth of his love makes forgetting impossible. The song captures raw grief and the persistent ache of missing someone, with a plea for a call. While it touches on emotional pain, it does not reference faith, God, or spiritual themes, making it a secular song about romantic loss.

I never seen a night so long
Seems like everything pertaining you and me
Has suddenly gone wrong
I spend my days working at my job
When the work is over and the day is done
I'm right back where I started from
I'm still missing you
Even after all this time
I'm staying in a lonely bed
Laying in a lonely bed
I'm cryin' in a lonely bed
With you on my mind
Through the darkness I can see
You smiling tenderly
But my poor heart is cryin' out
How I need you desperately
My friends try to tell me
I'll forget you in time
But they don't know the kind of love
Living in this heart of mine
I'm still missing you
Even after all this time
I'm staying in a lonely bed
Laying in a lonely bed
Cryin' in a lonely bed
With you on my mind
Why don't ya call me some time?
