lover man

I don't know why, but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I've never had
Never had no kissing
Ooh, what I've been missing
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
The night is cold, and I'm all so alone
I'd give my soul, just to call you my own
Got the moon above me, but no one to love me...
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
I've heard it's said that the thrill of romance can't be
Like the heavenly dream
I go to bed with the prayer
That you'll make my love to me
Strange as it may seem
Some day we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
And whisper sweet
Little things in my ears
Hugging and then kissing
Hum, what I've been missing
Lover man oh where can you be?

always on my mind

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I'm sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind

An anthropologist once asked a Hopi why so many of his people's songs were about rain. The Hopi replied, "Because water is so scarce. Is that why so many of your songs are about love?" ~ Gila: Life and Death of an American River
