Perhaps the one you're looking for is "I Still Miss Someone," by Johnny Cash, the chorus (or bridge) of which goes:

    No, I never got over those blue eyes,
    I see them everywhere.
    I miss those arms that held me
    When all the love was there.

Not Cash's best effort, IMHO. I always thought the tune was kid of tedious, but the song has been recorded by several folks in addition to Cash himself, including Jimmy Buffett.

Hope this helps,
Nancy

There are (at least) 4 threads discussing the song : Blue Eyes, Lyr Req: I'll never get over those blue eyes , Help: I still miss someone , Lyr Req: I Still Miss Someone . The words are there, but you might have to hunt for them a bit, so you might like to pick them up from I Still Miss Someone at Toptown (linked in one of the threads).

Nice recording of 'I still miss someone' on the Tribute CD..KINDRED SPIRITS. It's a song I love to sing myself. The version on KINDRED SPIRITS is sung by Cash's daughter, Roseanne w/nice harmonies by Vince Gill. Lovely. Really lovely. I believe she also sang this at his memorial service.

I should send Champagne Carole the mix tape I have this song on, seeing as she has few tapes to play in her car.

Ron Wall taught me his version in Mountain View a few years back. I like the song and he does it beautifully on the autoharp.

"Kind of tedious" "Not Cash's best effort"

I think it's a good song - played and sung at the right tempo and with a suitable level of feeling. 1st sang it about 20 years ago; still singing it, and it's still well received.

Kind of tedious! Harrumph...it's a perfect song for a woman to sing! A wonderful addition to any Mezzo's repertoire. When you take out the clackity-clack rhythm cash is so known for and draw it out more lyrically, it's a stunner of a song! Audiences always love it. A nice harmoniser makes it all the more lovely.

Perhaps it's an American thing. We like our maudlin love songs about love lost.

Who really must be going now. Presents to wrap, hints to drop...all that rot.

(did you catch the hint Cller, Carole? There's one in here. Now WHO has talked about harmonies before....hmmmmmm)

Just for the record--haha--"I Still Miss Someone" was co-written by Johnny Cash and Roy Cash Jr.
