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. 10: "When I'm Gone" by Joey and Rory
This already heartbreaking song has an even more heartbreaking story behind it.

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.

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.

Could ever die?'
