Do You Think of Me?
Anne Murray · I'll Always Love You/Somebody's Waiting [Capitol/E [2001]
Do you think of me
When your arms reach out to hold her
Do you think of me
When you tell her that you love her
Do the words come easily
Or do you find you pause
Because you're thinkin' of me.
When you wake and you're beside her
Do you think of me
When you're wonderin' what to buy her
Do you think of me
When you plan your lives together
Does it feel like it should be
Or is something wrong
Because you're thinkin' of me.
When you dream your dreams at night
Do you still see my face
Do you slip sometimes
And call out my name by mistake
Do you sit like me and wonder
If it is too late
To begin again
Living a love that won't end.
When she tells you that she loves you
Do your eyes tear happily
Or do you find you cry
Because you're thinkin' of me.
Or do you find you cry
Because you're thinkin' of me...
