Daddy, You’ve Been On My Mind

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
