Do I Ever Cross Your Mind
Tom Jones · Carrying a Torch [1991]
WRITER DOLLY PARTON
Oh, sometimes I go walking through fields where we
walked Long ago in the sweet used to be And the flowers
still grow, but they don't smell as sweet As they did
when you picked them for me Chorus: And when I think
of you and the love we once knew How I wish we could
go back in time Do you ever think back on old memories
like that Or do I ever cross your mind Do you ever
wake up lonely in the middle of the night Because you
miss me, do you darling Oh,
and do your memories ever take You back into another
place in time And do you ever miss the feelings And
the love we shared when you were with me,
tell me darling Or do I ever cross your mind Oh,
how often I wish that again I could kiss Your sweet
lips like I did long ago And how often I long for those
two loving arms That once held me so gentle and close Repeat chorus
