Daddy, You Been On My Mind

Daddy,You Been On My Mind--Keren Ann

Perhaps it's the colour of the sun cut flat

And covering the crossroads I'm standing at,

Or maybe it's the weather or something like that,

But Daddy, you been on my mind.

I don't mean trouble

Please don't put me down don't get upset,

I am not pleading or saying, "I can't forget you."

I do not walk the floor bowed down and bent,

But yet, Daddy, you been on my mind.

Even though my mind is hazy

And my thoughts they might be narrow,

Where you been don't bother me

Nor bring me down in sorrow.

See,I don't even matter who you're waking with tomorrow,

Daddy, you're just on my mind.

I am not asking you to say words like "yes" or "no,"

Please understand me, I've got no place for you to go.

I'm just whispering to myself

So I can pretend that I don't know,

That Daddy, you been on my mind.

When you wake up in the morning, baby

Look inside your mirror.

Oh 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.

Daddy,You Been On My Mind
