Answer
Hello Mike,

Oh yes, I know that one well. I remember playing it over and over again as a lovestruck fifteen-year-old after a girlfriend had dumped me. It's called "I Missed Me" and it was a hit for Jim Reeves in 1960.

It was written by Bill Anderson, who made a recording of it in 1965, and there was a much later recording by Daniel O'Donnell.


Last night was the worst night of my life no doubt
'Cause while I stayed at home, someone else took you out
I cried 'cause I loved you with all of my might
And I missed me, how I missed me at your house last night

I missed holding hands, walking out on your lawn
I missed the sweet kiss that was mine for so long
Were you happy with new arms wrapped around you so tight
Did you miss me, like I missed me at your house last night

Did the neighbours say they noticed anything strange
Like a diff'rent car parked in your drive for a change
Did they watch as he kissed you beneath the porch light
And did they miss me like I missed me at your house last night

I missed holding hands, walking out on your lawn
I missed the sweet kiss that was mine for so long
Were you happy with new arms wrapped around you so tight
Did you miss me, like I missed me at your house last night


Glad to be of help. Cheers........Mel.
