The message of the song is that no matter what happens in life, we'll always carry the people that we love in our heart always.  Distance and death can never truly separate us.

This bond between us can't be broken.  I will be here, don't you cry.  'Cause you'll be in my heart. Y es, you'll be in my heart.  From this day on.  Now and forever more.

Missing You Song No. 32: "Who You'd Be Today" by Kenny Chesney

This is one of the best songs about missing someone who was taken far too young.  "Who would you be today?" we often ask ourselves when someone young has died.

It ain't fair you died too young.  Like a story that had just begun.  But death tore the pages all away.  God knows how I miss you.  All the hell that I've been through.  Just knowing no one could take your place.  Sometimes I wonder who you'd be today.

Missing You Song No. 31: "Streets of Heaven" by Sherrie Austin

This heartbreaking  song is about a mother who's watching her dying child and struggling to keep her faith.  She doesn't understand why God would want to take her precious baby so soon.

Anyone who has suffered the loss of a child will be able to relate to these heart-wrenching lyrics:

Well, it must be kind of crowded, on the streets of heaven.  So tell me: what do you need her for?  Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever.  But right now I need her so much more.  She's much too young to be on her own: barely just turned seven.  So who will hold her hand when she crosses the streets of heaven?

Missing You Song No. 30: "Beam Me Up" by Pink

Pink penned this heartfelt acoustic ballad about a very close friend of hers who lost a young child.

She explained on a track-by-track on Spotify that this missing you song "deals with the loss of a loved one, a loss of a child."  She added that the song is "very, very, very, very personal."

The lyrics express a deep yearning to be able to see a loved one again:

Could you beam me up.  Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it.  Probably just stare, happy just to be there holding your face.  Beam me up, let me be lighter, I'm tired of being a fighter.  I think a minute's enough.  Just beam me up.

Missing You Song No. 29: "Glory Baby" by Watermark

Glory Baby was written by Christy and Nathan Nockels, the duo that make up the Christian band Watermark, after they suffered multiple miscarriages.

They started writing this incredible ballad after the first miscarriage, but were only able to pen the first line:  "Glory Baby, you slipped away as fast as we could say baby."

The Nockels credit God with helping them continue with writing the song after suffering a second miscarriage.  After a time of healing, they were able to finish the song.

It's a powerful song that says "I miss you" and can't wait to be with you again.

Heaven will hold you before we do.  Heaven will keep you safe.  Until we're home with you.  Until we're home with you.

Missing You Song No. 28: "Safe & Sound" by Taylor Swift and The Civil Wars

Taylor Swift joined with The Civil Wars to pen this missing you acoustic ballad for the soundtrack to the movie "The Hunger Games."

Although this song was not necessarily written about missing someone, it still sends a powerful message about keeping your faith when the world seems to be falling apart — a sentiment that the bereaved can relate to.

Just close your eyes.  The sun is going down.  You'll be alright.  No one can hurt you now.  Come morning light.  You and I'll be safe and sound.

Missing You Song No. 27: "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down

This is one of those songs that has lyrics that are open to the listener's interpretation, making it relevant to anyone who is missing someone, whether it's due to distance, the end of a relationship, or death.

This song is about the loneliness you feel when you're missing someone, whether they're gone for a day, a month, or forever.

I'm here without you baby.  But you're still on my lonely mind.  I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time.  I'm here without you baby. But you're still with me in my dreams.  And tonight girl, it's only you and me.

Missing You Song No. 26: "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

You are probably already familiar with this famous song that was sung by Judy Garland as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.   This version by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole is our favourite, with its soothing ukulele.

This iconic, gorgeous song is about hope and knowing that no matter what, the bad times will one day be over and brighter days will come.

Missing You Song No. 25: "My First Night Alone Without You" by Bonnie Raitt

The lyrics to this emotional missing you song capture the pain that comes with facing the sudden loss of someone you love.

It speaks of the struggle of moving forward when you're missing someone who brought so much light into your life.  How can you can get through the rest of your life without him or her?

Honey, half of me has gone away.  With all the love I learned to cling to.  Tomorrow I'll have to find another way.  To live the rest of my life alone without you.

Missing You Song No. 24: "Forever Love" by Reba McEntire

This song by country music queen Reba McEntire was written for a TV movie by the same name and is a beautiful ballad about how our loved ones are with us forever.  We'll see them in our dreams until the day we meet again.

Minutes and hours and years may go by.  But my heart knows nothing of time.  So don't cry just keep me right here in your dreams.  And hold on to these words of mine.

Missing You Song No. 23: "How Do I Live Without You" by Tricia Yearwood

A beautiful version of this icon song was sung by Tricia Yearwood.  The lyrics speak about how difficult it is to continue with life after losing the love of your life.

Sadly, many people have had to face this reality, making this song very meaningful to them.

If you ever leave.  Baby you would take away everything real in my life.  And tell me now.  How do I live without you?

Missing You Song No. 22: "Not a Day Goes By" by Lonestar

Lonestar's "Not a Day Goes By" is a heartbreaking song.   The lyrics speak of missing someone so much that "not a day goes by" where you don't think about him or her.

This song is relevant to different types of loss, whether it's losing someone through death, or because the end of a relationship.

Got a picture of you I carry in my heart.  Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark.  Got a memory of you I carry in my soul.  I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold.

Missing You Song No. 21: "See You Again" by Carrie Underwood

This song by Carrie Underwood paints a beautiful picture of being reunited with our loved ones in heaven.  Life here on Earth is not the end of the road.

I can hear those echoes in the wind at night.  Calling me back in time.  Back to you.  In a place far away.  Where the. water meets the sky.  The thought of it makes me smile.  You are my tomorrow.

Missing You Song No. 20: "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion

We may be a little biased seeing as "Titanic" is one of our favourite movies of all time, but Dion's vocals paired with the gorgeous lyrics by Will Jennings and James Horner make the theme song a masterpiece.

Even though our loved one may be gone, our love lives on forever.

Every night in my dreams. I see you, I feel you.  That is how I know you, go on.  Far across the distance.  And spaces between us.  You have come to show you, go on.  Near, far, wherever you are.  I believe that the heart does go on.

Missing You Song No. 19: "There You'll Be" by Faith Hill

This song from the "Pearl Harbour" soundtrack is one of the most beautiful songs about missing someone special.

Some of our favourite lyrics are:

In my dreams I'll always see you soaring by the sky.  In my heart there'll always be a place for you.  For all my life I'll keep a part of you with me.  And everywhere I am there you'll be.  And everywhere I am there you'll be.

Missing You Song No. 18: "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's

This song by punk rock band "Plain White T's" takes on a totally different sound than what is characteristic of the band.

The song is about a girl and a boy in a long-distance relationship who talk about their future plans of her finishing school and him becoming a famous guitar player.

It's a song about missing someone important to you because you are far away.  No matter what, you'll always be together.

Hey there, Delilah.  Don't you worry about the distance.  I'm right there if you get lonely.  Give this song another listen.  Close your eyes.  Listen to my voice, it's my disguise.  I'm by your side.

You can find comfort in this song if you're missing someone because of distance, or because of death.

Missing You Song No. 17: "Talking to the Moon" by Bruno Mars

Everything Bruno Mars writes turns into magic, and this beautiful ballad is no exception.

This is the perfect song to play when you're missing someone who has passed away, "talking to the moon" in the hopes your loved one in heaven can hear you.

At night when the stars.  Light up my room.  I sit by myself.  Talking to the moon.  Tryin' to get to you.  In hopes you're on.  The other side.  Talking to me too.  Or am I a fool.  Who sits alone.  Talking to the moon.

Missing You Song No. 16: "Missing You" by Steve Perry

This song is about feeling guilt and regret after losing someone you love.

It's a song with a powerful message to never take the ones you love for granted, to admit when you're wrong, and to make amends before you no longer have the chance.

If I could, you know I would.  I'd make it up to you.  Instead I'm (missin' you).  In the place you used to be.  You were lying next to me.  Oh I'm, missin' you.  Oh I'm missin' you.

Missing You Song No. 15: "Stardust" by Nat King Cole

We get goosebumps every time we listen to this iconic song by legend Nat King Cole.

The lyrics are full of gorgeous imagery that paints a beautiful picture of your loved one living in the sky among the stars.

And now the purple dusk of twilight time.  Steals across the meadows of my heart.  High up in the sky the little stars climb.  Always reminding me that we're apart.  You wander down the lane and far away.  Leaving me a song that will not die.  Love is now the stardust of yesterday.  The music of the years gone by.

We hope this touching song brings you a sense of peace and comfort when you're missing someone in heaven.

Missing You Song No. 14: "Reminds Me of You" by Van Morrison

This is one of the most emotional songs about missing someone special on our top 100 list.

When we're missing someone, you see reminders of him or her everywhere you turn.  This song beautifully captures this sentiment.

I miss you so much, I can't stand it.  Seems like my heart, is breaking in two.  My head says no but my soul demands it.  Everything I do, reminds me of you.

Missing You Song No. 13: "Tonight I Wanna Cry" by Keith Urban

This is one of those songs that is relevant to any type of loss, whether that loss is the death of someone we love, or loss that comes when a relationship ends.

The song is about the intense pain and loneliness that ensues when someone we love is no longer a part of our lives.

Alone in this house again tonight.  I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine.  There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me. The way that it was and could have been surrounds me.

Missing You Song No. 12: "I'll See You In My Dreams" by Giant

This song is about how we can temporarily escape the pain of missing someone special by seeing him or her in our dreams.

Time, time will never be a friend of mine again.  It tries to make your memory fade, but I won't let it end.  Let the sun go down, so I can drift away.  Let me close my eyes and live another day.  You keep comin', you keep comin' back, you keep comin' back for more.

Missing You Song No. 11: "Please Remember" by Leann Rimes

This is one of those songs about losing someone that always makes us cry.

From the soundtrack of the movie "A Walk to Remember," this song speaks of the pain of losing someone you love and the life you could have had together.  It also implores us to treasure our precious memories.

Time, sometimes the time just slips away.  And you're left with yesterday.  Left with the memories.  I, I'll always think of you and smile.  And be happy for the time I had you with me.  Though we go our separate ways.  I won't forget so don't forget.  The memories we made.

Missing You Song No. 10: "When I'm Gone" by Joey and Rory

This already heartbreaking song has an even more heartbreaking story behind it.

Joey and Rory were a husband and wife country music bluegrass duo.  They recorded this song in 2012, and it's about a dying wife reassuring her husband that he'll be okay when she's gone.

The songwriter, Sandy Lawrence, wrote this ballad when her own mother was dying.  The motivation for writing the song was to leave something behind for her husband and son in case she were to pass away before them, to let them know they'd be okay.

Tragically, 3 years after they recorded this song, Rory announced that his beloved wife Joey was diagnosed with terminal cancer and that she'd sadly passed away.

A bright sunrise will contradict.  The heavy fog that weighs you down.  In spite of all the funeral songs, the birds will make their joyful sounds.  You'll wonder why the Earth still moves.  You'll wonder how you'll carry on.  But you'll be okay on that first day when I'm gone.

Missing You Song No. 9: "Love Is Stronger Than Death" by The The

Matt Johnson of the band "The The" wrote this touching song following the death of his beloved brother.

During the deep depression that followed, he found writing this song therapeutic.  The lyrics remind us that those we love never truly die because they live on through our love.  Love is always stronger than death.

In our lives we hunger for those we cannot touch.  All the thoughts unuttered & all the feelings unexpressed.  Play upon our hearts like the mist upon our breath.  But, awoken by grief, our spirits speak, 'How could you believe that the life within the seed that grew arms that reached and a heart that beat. And lips that smiled. And eyes that cried. Could ever die?'

Missing You Song No. 8: "Far Away" by Nickelback

This song says, "I miss you and I need you."

Although the song is not necessarily about the death of a loved one, the lyrics talks about how we can sometimes take for granted what we have.  Sometimes it takes losing him or her to realize how much you truly care.

On my knees, I'll ask last chance for one last dance.  'Cause with you, I'd withstand.  All of hell to hold your hand.  I'd give it all I'd give for us.  Give anything, but I won't give up.  'Cause you know you know, you know.

Missing You Song No. 7: "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor

James Taylor wrote this song while dealing with depression after the death of a close friend.

This song's mournful lyrics speak of loss, as well as of redemption.  It's a cathartic song to listen to if you're struggling with grief.

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone.  Susanne the plans they made put an end to you.  I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song.  I just can't remember who to send it to.

Missing You Song No. 6: "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth

You may remember this beautiful song from the "Fast and the Furious 7" movie soundtrack.

It was recorded in tribute to the late Paul Walker, one of the film's stars, after his sudden death in a car accident in 2013.

The message of this song is simple but powerful.  Everyone has loved ones, and everyone will experience the loss of a loved one.  What's important is to cherish the time we spend together, because when death separates us, our memories will live on.

It's been a long day without you, my friend.  And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.  We've come a long way from where we began.  Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.  When I see you again.

Missing You Song No. 5: "Dancing In The Sky" by Dani and Lizzy

If you're missing someone who's passed away, listen to this song for peace and comfort.  This song expresses that our loved ones are in heaven, happy, free of pain and fear, and at peace.

Oh-oh-oh I, I hope you're dancing in the sky.  I hope your singing in the angels choir.  And I hope the angels, know what they have.  I bet it's so nice up in heaven since you arrived.

Missing You Song No. 4: "Why" by Rascal Flatts

This song by country band "Rascal Flatts" is a moving ballad that tells the story of a life cut tragically short by suicide.  It's written from the point of view of those left behind.

If you have lost someone to suicide, this beautiful song may express the grief that you are struggling with.

Oh why, that's what I keep askin'.  Was there anything I could have said or done.  Oh I, had no clue you were masking a troubled soul, God only knows.  What went wrong, and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song.

Missing You Song No. 3: "Candle In The Wind" by Elton John

Sir Elton John first released this beautiful piano ballad in 1973 in honour of the late Marilyn Monroe who had died 11 years earlier.  He later performed a rewritten version titled "Goodbye England's Rose"  at the funeral of his friend, Princess Diana.

Missing You Song No. 2: "I Miss My Friend" by Darryl Worley

This emotional song is a must-listen if you're missing someone who was the love of your life and also your best friend.  It's one of our most favourite songs about missing someone special.

We cannot be helped but be moved by the lines:

I miss my friend.  The one my heart and soul confided in.  The one I felt the safest with the one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again.  And let the light back in.  I miss my friend.

Missing You Song No. 1: "A Day Without Me" by U2

The themes in this song revolve around suicide and mental illness. Bono wrote the lyrics to "A Day Without Me" after the hearing news that Ian Curtis, the frontman/vocalist of the band "Joy Division," had taken his life.

If you've lost someone to suicide, we hope you find some comfort in this beautiful song.

In the world I left behind.  Wipe their eyes, and then let go.  To the world I left behind.  Shed a tear, and then let go.
