I’ll Be Missing You

(Tommy L. Day)

A song done in that innocent 60s style about a breakup in which the one being broken up with intends to hide their feelings of sadness from showing. A simple pronoun change can make it work for anyone. The song begins with a verse / intro, like many classic broadway numbers, to set the scene.

(Verse / intro)
You say it’s over for you and I
You say it’s time to say goodbye 
Though I’m dying on the inside 
I’ll be lying on the outside 
I won’t let you see me cry

(v1)
No, I won’t show it 
As you walk away 
I’ll ensure you don’t know it 
In spite of what you say 

(v2)
And you’ll never realize 
My actions are untrue 
‘Cos beneath my disguise 
I’ll be missing you 

(Bridge)
It’s better this way 
I know you don’t love me 
I’ll hide my heart away 
The shattered dream of eternity 

(v3)
Oh, how my heart aches
For warm love to turn cold
But for my heart’s sake
The truth, girl, won’t ever be told

(v4)
No, you’ll never see 
The tears that fall like dew 
You’ll be walking happily
But I’ll be missing you 

(Instrumental)

(Bridge)
It’s better this way 
I know you don’t love me 
I’ll hide my heart away 
The shattered dream of eternity 

(v3)
Oh, how my heart aches
For warm love to turn cold
But for my heart’s sake
The truth, girl, won’t ever be told

(v4)
No, you’ll never see 
The tears that fall like dew 
You’ll be walking happily
But I’ll be missing you 

(Outro)
I’ll be missing you 
I’ll be missing you
