Daddy, You Been On My Mind

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 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 or bring me down in sorrow

It 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'm not calling for you to go

I'm just breathing to myself, pretending not 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

As someone who has had you on her mind
