daddy you've been on my mind

Singer:collins, judy

perhaps it's the color 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'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're just 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're just 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
