I am being very serious here in that I titled a song "How Can I miss You If You Won't Go Away." over 25 years ago. I actually wrote a few lines to it. Only my closest friends can verify that I came up with that song title that long ago.
My title was actually a spin off of Roy Clark's "Thank God and Greyhound You're Gone"

A few lines from Tyme's lyrics.


I go to work and trudge back home
But you're still here to stay.
How can I miss you,
If you won't go away.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
That's what I am hear them say.
But how can I miss you,
If you won't go away.

I've forgotten the rest of that song. Too many beers and too many tears have passed thru my life of too many years.
