| Perhaps it’s the color of the sun cut flat and coverin'
|
| The crossroads I’m standin' at
|
| Or maybe it’s the weather or somethin' like that
|
| Daddy, you been on my mind
|
| 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 pace the floors bowed down and bent but yet
|
| Daddy you been on my mind
|
| Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow where you been
|
| don’t bother me
|
| No put me down with sorrow
|
| See, I don’t even mind who’ll you be waking with tomorrow
|
| Daddy, you’ve been on my mind
|
| I’m not askin' you to say words like yes or no
|
| Please, understand me
|
| Got no place for you to go
|
| I’m just whispering to myself so I can’t pretend that I don’t know
|
| Daddy, you been on my mind
|
| When you wake up in the mornin' 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
|
| Daddy, you been on my mind |
