I Still Miss Someone
By Rosanne Cash

One of the sweetest moments of my life occurred several years ago, the last time my dad played Carnegie Hall. I had been a little angry with him the day before the show and had brought up some old grievances, which he listened to gracefully. He invited me to sing "I Still Miss Someone" with him the night. I demurred. The day of the performance I had a fierce headache and told him I could not do it. I went to his hotel that evening before the show, he asked again. I declined, but as I watched him walk out of the room I suddenly realized what it meant to him and agreed to sing the song. That night, as we sang together all the old pain dissolved. I felt the longing to connect completely satisfied. Under the lights, in the safety of a few thousand people who loved us like crazy just then, I got something from my dad that I’d been trying to get since I was about six year old. I was truly magic, for both of us I don’t think we’ve ever been so close. Rosanne Cash

I Still Miss Someone

At my door the leaves are falling

The cold wild wind will come

Sweethearts walk by together

And I still miss someone

I go out on a party and look for a little fun but I find the darkened corner

Cause I Still Miss Someone

-------------

Though I never got over those blue eye’s

I see them everywhere

I miss those arms that me

when all the love was there

---------------

I wonder if she’s sorry for leaving what she begun there’s someone for me somewhere And I Still Miss Someone

----------------

though I never got over those blue eyes

I see them everywhere I miss those arms

when all the love was there

I wonder if she’s sorry for leaving what she begun there’s someone for me somewhere and I Still Miss Someone

Through The Eyes Of A Fan

The song ( I Still Miss Someone ) is one of my most favorite songs by Johnny Cash. It was on the flip side of the number one hit ( Don’t take Your Guns to Town ) Columbia #41313 In 1/19/59. But surprising to me the song it self never charted, although in later years some artist began to record the song. Joan Baez recorded it on her album named, ( Joan Baez #5 VSD-79160 ) and on, ( Linda Ronstadt’s album ( For Country Lovers - Realistic 51-7002 ) The song started out on the album ( Fabulous Johnny Cash - Columbia CS - 8122 ) Johnny recorded it again on another Columbia album called

( I Walk The Line # CS- 8990 ) he also did a version of it on an

( Earl Scruggs Revue #2 ) album, with Earl Scruggs himself playing guitar.

and last but not least Johnny Cash recorded it on the ( Storytellers CD in 1998 on the American label - CK - 69416 ) with Willie Nelson playing guitar. It was very pretty song in 1959 and now in 1998

The song was number one with me for 39 years. I never get tired of listening to the song I Still Miss Someone Steven Menke
