“miss you like crazy”

a few words from cliff preston

John 11:35, “Jesus wept.” The first time I realized Jesus wept, knowing He would raise Lazarus from the dead, was an important day for me. I learned on that day that we didn't serve a God who didn't understand what it was like to lose a friend. I also understood that Jesus showed us that it was okay to grieve.

Then the Holy Spirit, through Paul, tells us how not to grieve…like those with no hope. Loss is hard. I think about my dad often. I wrestle with the reality that I might forget how his voice sounded. I wrestle with the thought that my kids are growing up and will need me less and less.

Miss You Like Crazy is our best attempt to give you a song to process those hard earthly disappointments. We may indeed weep as we continue to wrestle with these things in this fallen world, but we do not grieve like those without hope. He is the answer for these ails, too. I love all of you.

miss you like crazy lyrics

Verse 1
When I look at you
There's something 'bout the way
Your eyes hold our history
And though I'm thankful too
Is it wrong to say
That this happened
Way too fast for me
How can someone take it in
Life's busy then it's quiet again
Do you prepare or just let go
Because I know I know

Chorus
I'm gonna miss you like crazy
I feel the temperature changing
This went at the speed of light
And I know that we can't stop time
Will the memories
Break my heart or save me
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you like crazy

Verse 2
Like the sun and moon
Just too far away
What if I forget your ways
If I could I'd choose
To go relive a day
And try to memorize your face
Must I just pretend again
Or learn a whole new way to live
As the times they ebb and flow
Oh I know I know

Bridge
I won't hold you back
I'll see you down the path
I'll hold on to the joy
I'll smile at what we had
With every photograph
The grateful kind of sad
If it weren't for all the good
It wouldn't hurt this bad
I just know I know

Tag 2
Every time Oh
I'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you like crazy

Cliff Preston Bio

“I try to see people through the lens of what God has brought me through and saved me from. I believe that if God can love and use even me, he can love and use anyone.”

It’s been said that what sets Cliff Preston apart is his raw authenticity and compassion. Preston’s music ministry began in 2002 as he began traveling with bands to bring awareness to the love of Jesus as well as the mental health crisis. With his father being a professional counselor and pastor, he was very aware of the effect that mental health was having on the generation, as well as the ultimate source of wellness - the finished work of the cross. He has spent the following twenty years traveling the country writing songs, leading worship, preaching, and even opening businesses geared towards Christ-centered clinical mental healthcare.

Cliff is proud to call Smackover, Arkansas his hometown. He is even prouder of God’s faithfulness through his marriage with his wife Leslie, and the wisdom God provides as they raise their daughter Kannyn (12), and their two sons Murphy (10) and Campbell (2).

Cliff brings over two decades of ministry experience and business development to his partnership with People & Songs. In that time, he has written songs for artists including Newsong, JJ Weeks, Carrolton and more. He has shared the stage with artists such as MercyMe, Jeremy Camp, and Natalie Grant among others. All while opening and building companies that develop platforms to display Christ to a lost and hurting world.

Cliff is excited for what is to come as he joins forces with this diverse team of artists, worship leaders, and writers for the glory of God.
