THINKING ABOUT YOU

I’ve been thinkin’ about you, baby
Yes, I’ve been thinkin’ about you
Thinkin’ about you, baby, thinkin’ about you

They say you lose your friends and you lose yourself
But what about when you lose a lover?
What do you lose then?
It feels like you lost everything
The years pass, what can you do?
You’ve moved on, they’ve moved on
And yet we wouldn’t be who we are without them
It’s not appropriate to contact them or even think about them
And yet they’re part of us, almost like family
So what am I supposed to do?
Forget my family? Forget the people I love?
Pretend it never happened? I can’t do that

The sun goes down, the world goes round
And round and round and round and round

It’s like when you find yourself at the beach after a long time away
You feel the sand in your toes
You start picking up shells and stones
And you find one that’s special, unlike all the others
And you want to keep it
You want to believe you found something special in this world that was meant just for you
There are all these other stones, all these other people, all their special stories, but it doesn’t matter
All I wanted was to hold onto you
I couldn’t keep you, but I still think about you

The sun goes down, the world goes round
And round and round and round and round

It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway
I don’t ever want you to feel bad about what happened between us
That’s not what I keep in my heart
What I keep in my heart is that we loved each other
If it didn’t work out, it wasn’t because we didn’t love
We did
If it’s any comfort to you, I still love you
You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever known

It’ goes round and round and round and round

You know, I caught myself thinking about you the other night
Oh, oh, oh, I shouldn’t do that
I get myself into a little trouble that way
I guess I like that kind of trouble

A Song Can Tell A Story

When words leave off, music begins.
