Daddy You've Been On My Mind

Perhaps it's the colour of the sun cut flat Uncovering the crossroads I'm standing at Or maybe it's the weather or something like that But daddy, you've been on my mind I don't mean trouble, please, don't put me down or get upset I am not pleading or saying I can't forget I do not walk the floor bowed down and bent, but yet Daddy, you're just on my mind Even though my mind is hazy And my thoughts, they might be narrow, where you've been? Don't bother me or bring me down in sorrow It don't even matter to me where you're waking up tomorrow Daddy, you're just on my mind I am not asking you to say words like "Yes" or "No" Please, understand me, I got no place for you to go I'm just breathing to myself, pretending not that I don't know Daddy, you've been on my mind When you wake up in the morning, baby, look inside your mirror You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear As someone who has had you on her mind
