lyrics

Do you ever think of me when the sun shines bright
Do you ever think of me when it rains
When your footsteps echo on a lonely street at night
My once true love
Do I sometimes cross your mind.

And do you ever think of me when the cold wind blows
When you’re sittin warm and quiet by the fire
In the sweeter moments memory brings into your life
My once true love
Do I sometimes cross your mind.

Now and then a word or deed will take me back in time
And I'll always want to know you're doing fine
For there was a time we thought we couldn't live without each other
And I'd like to think I sometimes cross your mind.

Do you ever think of me in the soft sunrise
As lovers slowly wake from their dreams
Does some fleeting memory linger in its flight
My once true love
Do I sometimes cross your mind.

Now and then a word or deed will take me back in time
And I'll always want to know you're doing fine
For there was a time we thought we couldn't live without each other
And I'd like to think I sometimes cross your mind.

My once true love
Do I sometimes cross your mind.
