	Story Behind the Song Some years ago I lost my sister Billie Ruth Larson to cancer. Her husband Monte, was left behind to try and start a new life without her, to continue raising their kids that were still at home, and to find a way to get by in a circumstance he never dreamed he would have to go through. I've thought a lot, over the years, about how hard that would be. I never asked Monte how he reacted when he first found out about her illness... if they learned the news together, or if she found out first. I think I already knew how both would react anyway... the way anyone would react. She fought a valiant fight! I know Monte still feels her love, as each of us do in the family as well. I wrote this song about what I feel he must have gone through, how she might have handled it at first, and what I perceive anyone might feel, were they faced with the same thing. There are many ways love can be lost to us. Not just because of differences that might cause people to go their separate ways. If you've lost a loved one, I hope this song will help you feel their love welling up inside your heart. I believe that even in the darkest of circumstances, love truly is the light that heals the heart... and it never ever really goes out. Billie, I miss you too. Love, Roy Lyrics I'm Missing You Words and Music by: Roy Rivers Copyright (c) 2002, Roy Rivers, All Rights Reserved I woke up crying, because I lost you I feel so lonesome, now that you're gone So every morning, the prayer I'm asking Is for some healing, and the strength to carry on   Remember when you told me? I didn't want to hear you. And every time you tried to, just wasn't good for me You pulled me up to you, when finally you had to I felt a rush of panic, washing over me   You said it's gonna be okay, And life will still go on And though I'm sure to feel some pain, That love would keep me strong, yes and As difficult as it may seem, that I could make it through And find some peace and happiness but still I'm missing you   Instrumental   And you said that I would be okay, And life would still go on Though my heart would heal with time, That love would keep me strong, yes and Every day's a memory, of every dream come true And the life we shared before you said goodbye...  And I'm missing you   Instrumental   I woke up crying, because I lost you
