You're the First Thing I Think Of

Daniel O'Donnell · Especially for You / Love Songs [2002]

You're the first thing that I think of in the morning

You're the last thing that I think of every night

And even when I am sick you're always in my dreams

You're the last thing I think of every night.



When I close my eye I still see your face

And when I hold out my hand I feel your touch

To see your smile, just to hear your voice

It makes my weary heart disappear.



You're the first thing that I think of in the morning

You're the last thing that I think of every night

And even when I am sick you're always in my dreams

You're the last thing I think of every night.



I often wonder what your feelin' now

I know I need attention to get in touch

But pride gets in the way so I bottle up my love

In hope that someday you'll change your mind.



You're the first thing that I think of in the morning

You're the last thing that I think of every night

And even when I am sick you're always in my dreams

You're the last thing I think of every night.



Yes, you're the first thing that I think of in the morning

You're the last thing that I think of every night

And even when I am sick you're always in my dreams

You're the last thing I think of every night.



You're the last thing I think of every night.

Yes, you're the last thing I think of every night...
