DADDY, YOU'VE BEEN ON MY MIND
Per-haps it’s the col-or of the
sun cut flat and cov-er-ing
the cross-roads I'm stand-ing at
Or may-be it’s the weath-er
or some-thing like that
But Dad-dy, you've been on my mind
I don't mean trouble,
please don't put me down or get upset
I am not pleading or saying I can't forget
I do not walk the floor bowed down and bent,
but yet Daddy, you've been on my mind
Even though my mind is hazy
and my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don't bother me
or bring me down in sorrow
It don't even matter to me
where you're waking up tomorrow
Daddy, you've just been on my mind
I am not asking you to say words like yes and no
Please understand me, I got no place for you to go
I'm just breathing to myself
pretending not that I don't know
Daddy, you've been on my mind
When you wake up in the morning,
baby, look inside your mirror
You know I won't be next to you,
you know I won't be near
I'd just be curious to know
If you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on her mind
