Proud

"I Miss You" - Klymaxx


One of my most fondest memories I have of growing up was lip synching to this song. I was so tiny that at the time I couldn't even remember any of the lyrics. After just a few mini-rehearsals, we took the "stage" of our living room floor. My older sister, cousin and I, stood in front of the TV with an audience full of family and friends staring back at us. The familiar drum cymbal roll cued us in as we began to sway from side to side. We choreographed a simple routine to resemble the phrase, "I miss you."

For "I," we pointed to ourselves.
For "Miss," we crossed our arms over our chest.
And for "You," we pointed out towards the crowd.

This I could do and did well. I have a home video to prove it. The best part was when the video camera pans out to show just who was watching us attempt to sing a sad love song. You could see smiles on everyone's faces. They didn't want to leave. We had their full attention.

I remember vividly my grandfather "Papa" standing in the far left corner of the room. It was a proud moment for him. When the song came to an end, he was the first and the loudest to applaud us. This will always be the best memory I have of him and the proudest I ever felt about myself in my entire childhood.

Lyrics:

Thought I heard your voice yesterday
Then I turned around to say that I loved you
then I realized
that it was just my mind
playing tricks on me...

It seems colder lately at night
and I try to sleep with the lights on
Every time the phone rings
I pray to God it's you
I just can't believe (just can't believe)
That we're through...

I miss you (I miss you...)
There's no other way to say it
And I, And I can't deny it
I miss you (I miss you...)
It's so easy to see
I miss you and me...

Is it done and over this time?
Can we ever change our minds?
But it's our first love...
all the feelings that we used to share...
I refuse to believe that you don't care

I miss you (I miss you...)
There's no other way to say it
And I,And I can't deny it.
I miss you (I miss you...)
It's so easy to see
I miss you and me...

I've got to gather my senses together
I've been through worse kinds of weather
If it's over now (over now)
be strong (be strong)
I can't believe that you're gone...
I've got to carry on, but

I miss you (I miss you...)
Oh, no other way to say it
And I, And I can't deny it
I miss you (I miss you...)
It's so easy to see
That you're part of me now

Oh, no other way to say it
It's so easy to see
that you're part of me now
It's driving me crazy

It's so easy to see
that you're part of me now
that you're part of me now

I miss you (I miss you...)
It's driving me crazy
I don't want to live without you
I miss you (I miss you...)
It's so easy to see
I miss you and me...
