"Missing You" is a song recorded by John Waite. Waite's version hit number one for one week on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 22, 1984. He penned the lyrics within a few minutes because he was in America and missing his English wife, Kendal.

This song was also recorded by Tina Turner in 1996 on her Wildest Dreams album and hit #12 in the UK and #84 in the U.S. (Coincidentially, in 1984, Tina had preceded John on the top of the Billboard Hot 100 with her three-week #1 song "What's Love Got to Do with It?.")

"Missing You" was also recorded by Brooks & Dunn in 1999 on their Tightrope album and hit #15 on the country chart.

John Waite re-recorded *Missing You with Alison Krauss and released it to country music radio in 2006. The song peaked at #34 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

Tyler Hilton has also done a cover of Missing You.
