You're always on my mind
Sam Cooke · Other Songs - Sam Cooke
Instilled in my heart
You're always on my mind although we are apart
You're always
Always
Always on my mind
Baby the reason why I know I can't forget your face
'cause everywhere I go I see you every place
You're always
Always
Always on my mind
Life is so empty along with a broken heart
Please
Please tell me honey why did we have to part
You know it's you I love
To my heart you hold the key
I pray the stars above that you hurry back to me
You're always
Always
You're always on my mind
