Only Thing Missin' Songtext
von Aretha Franklin

Woke up this mornin′ to a perfect day
I opened my window, heard a sparrow say
Positive thoughts are runnin' through my mind
Nothin′ is wrong, feelin' real strong
'Cause a new day is comin′

The sun is shining, no clouds in view
Lovers are holdin′ hands, the world's brand new
Everybody′s smiling, summer's comin′ through
But the only thing that's missing is you (only thing that′s missing is you)

I see your smile through your photograph (through your photograph)
The thing that you said, still made me laugh (make me laugh)
Deep inside, I'm on the edge of tears
But I can't be cryin′, sittin′ around sighin'
Just ′cause you're not here


The sun is shining, no clouds in view
Lovers are holdin′ hands, the world's brand new
Everybody′s smiling, summer's comin' through
But the only thing that′s missing is you (only thing that′s missing is you)

Baby, baby, show me what do you do, when love is gone
You count your blessings and you move on (and you move on)
No, I ain't lonely, this ain′t no sad song
There's just one contradiction, I can′t stand to be alone

(The sun is shining) oh come and get me babe
(No clouds in view) in view
(Lovers are holdin' hands) lovers are holdin′ hands
(The world's brand new) yeah, the world's brand new
(Everybody′s smiling) everybody′s smiling
(Summer's comin′ through) summer's comin′ through
But the only thing that's missing is you (only thing that′s missing is you)

The sun is shining, no clouds in view (in view)
(Lovers are holdin' hands) lovers are holdin' hands
(The world′s brand new) yeah, the world′s brand new
(Everybody's smiling) everybody′s smiling
(Summer's comin′ through) summer's comin′ through
But the only thing that's missing is you (only thing that's missing is you)


(But the only thing that′s missin′ is you) the only thing that's missing is you
