By The Way

You ask me if I think of you,
What a funny thing to say.
In fact I bet you cross my mind
A million times a day.

Like as I open my eyes
To greet the rising sun
I’ve thought of you at least ten times,
And the day has just begun.

Putting on my makeup,
I can’t help but smile.
Thoughts of you play on mind,
To list would be a mile.
I wonder what you’re doing,
Are you thinking of me too?
Do I cross your mind at funny times?
Pop in right out of the blue?
It’s weird that you should call me,
I was thinking of you then.

Dreaming of what could still be,
Crying for what might have been.
Our love is long since over,
It’s so good to hear your voice.

I’m sorry that we’re apart right now,
Sorrier that you made that choice.

Don’t cry when you remember me,
Think warmly of my eyes.

Forget the way I held to you,
Forget my lonely cries.
It’s late, the sun is falling,
I’ll be awake the whole night thru.
Oh, thank you though for calling,
By the way, I’m still in love with you.
