Words - I Miss You

Do the words I miss you mean you love me?
Do the words I miss you mean you care?
Do the words I miss you mean you want me?
So why baby can't you be here?

Does it have to be this way forever?
Does it mean our love must stand the test of time?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me baby,
Cause I can't figure it out in my
Feeble mind if our love is blind.

Yes, the words I miss you mean I love you.
Yes, the words I miss you mean I care.
Yes, the words I miss you mean I want you.
And baby oh I want to be there.
No, it's not going to be this way forever.
Yes, our love must stand the test of time.
Baby, baby, baby I want you, love and need you all the time.

Separated But In Love

We've been separated for a long, long time
But now I realize true love is never blind.
We've tried hard to make up
But we must forget the past.
If our love my baby is ever going to last.

So just hold me in your arms and make
Sweet passionate love to me.
Tell me there is no other and here is
Where you belong and want to be.
Love me forever, love me like you never
Loved before.
All that I ask, is you give me your
Heart, I'll give you my heart,
And love me forever more.

Just hold me in your arms and
Make sweet passionate love to me.
Tell me there is no other and here is
Where you belong and want to be.
Love me forever, love me like you know
You really want to.
All that I ask is you give me your
Heart, and tell me baby I love you.
