Daddy,You Been On My Mind--Keren Ann |
|
Perhaps it's the colour of the sun cut flat |
|
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at, |
|
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that, |
|
But Daddy, you been on my mind. |
|
I don't mean trouble |
|
Please don't put me down don't get upset, |
|
I am not pleading or saying, "I can't forget you." |
|
I do not walk the floor 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 |
|
Nor bring me down in sorrow. |
|
See,I don't even matter who you're waking with tomorrow, |
|
Daddy, you're just on my mind. |
|
I am not asking you to say words like "yes" or "no," |
|
Please understand me, I've got no place for you to go. |
|
I'm just whispering to myself |
|
So I can pretend that I don't know, |
|
That Daddy, you been on my mind. |
|
When you wake up in the morning, baby |
|
Look inside your mirror. |
|
Oh 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 |
