Hey everyone, I'm trying to get a suggestion on a song that would be about me missing my wife.

I am in the United States and she has been in Holland for the last 2 years. We can only talk on the phone, and I wanted to pick a song from a man's point of view that is missing his lover/wife etc.

I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions. I'm drawing a blank.

Thanks, Randy :)

PS: The song that she listens to when she misses me is by a Dutch artist named Anouk (sings in English) called Lost. If you care to look it up, it's very emotional - I want to express this emotion to her.

Fugitive Motel by Elbow. Features the line "blow you a kiss, it should reach you tomorrow as it flies from the other side of the world."

It's sort of just a passing reference and likely not what you want, but this certainly has the feeling of being far away, and has the line:
"Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows..."

in "Space Oddity" (lyrics (http://ntl.matrix.com.br/pfilho/html/lyrics/s/space_oddity.txt)) - here's a very "odd" earlier version:

Bill Withers: Ain't no Sunshine

Amen, brother.

Or, for something a little more cheerful, "Ain't Misbehavin'" - lots of good versions; try Billie Holiday, maybe.

Not specifically about a man missing a woman, but a deeply emotional song about what "home" means, which can mean many things to many people, including reuniting with the one you love:

"Home sings me of sweet things
My life there has its own wings"
