标题：Miss you nights
简介
Miss You Nights中文翻译为想念你的夜晚。是一首由戴夫汤森（Dave Townsend）与1974年创作的歌曲，被克利夫理查（Cliff Richard）翻唱出名，之后又有多位歌手翻唱。是一首描写思念的美丽的英文歌。
创作背景
戴夫汤森于1974年中的一天创作了这首歌。当时，他的女友离开他单独去度假。于是他写下了这首“思念你的夜晚”，用歌声表述了他当时的心情。他录下了这首歌，并被收录在小岛唱片公司（Island Record）的一张专辑里。可是这张专辑被公司搁置了，最终包括这首歌在内的一些曲目被删除。这首歌的样本被转交到影子乐队（The Shadows）成员布鲁斯威尔屈（Bruce Welch）的手中。当时布鲁斯正好是克利夫理查的唱片制作者，于是克利夫理查便得到机会翻唱了这首歌。克利夫理查接过这首歌之后非常兴奋，立即将它录制成为了单曲光盘，于1975年11月4日发行，并且感叹这是他唱过的最好的情歌之一。
克利夫理查版本
克利夫理查非常喜爱这首歌。他先后两次将这首歌作为单曲发行。1975年版单曲光盘曲目列表曲目编号曲目名称备注01Miss You NightsA Side02Love EnoughB Side

I've had many times
I can tell you
Times when innocence i'd trade for company
And children saw me crying
I thought i'd had my share of that
But these miss you nights
Are the longest
Midnight diamonds
Stud my heaven
Southward burning
Lie the jewels that eye my place
And the warm winds
That embrace me
Jst as surely kissed your face
Yeah these miss you nights
Are the longest
How i miss you
I'm not likely to tell
I'm a man and cold day light
Buys the pride i'd rather sell
All my secrets
Are wasted affair
You know them well
Thinking of my going
How to cut the thread
And leave it all behind
Looking windward for my compass
I take each day as it arrives
But these miss you nights
Are the longest
Lay down all thought of your surrender
It's only me who's killing time
Lay down all dreams and themes once remembered
It's just the same
This miss you game
Yeah these miss you nights
Are the longest

西城男孩版歌词I've had many times I can tell you
Times when innocence I'd trade for company
And children saw me crying
I thought I'd had my share of that
But these miss you nights are the longest
Midnight diamonds stud my heaven
Southward burning like the jewels that are your face
And the warm winds that embrace me
Just as surely kissed your face
Yet these miss you nights they're the longest
(Lay down) Lay down all thoughts of your surrender
It's only me who's killing time
(Lay down) Lay down all dreams and feelings once remembered
It's just the same this miss you game
Thinking of my going
How to cut the thread and leave it all behind
Looking windward for my comfort
I take each day as it arrives
But these miss you nights are the longest
But these miss you nights are the longest
