Do I Ever Cross Your Mind
Memories Unveiled: Ray Charles' Timeless Reflections
Lyrics
Do I ever cross your mind
Asking if the person is ever in the thoughts of the speaker.
Darlin' do you ever see
Questioning if the person ever visualizes the speaker.
Some situation somewhere, somehow
Wondering if certain situations trigger memories of the speaker.
Triggers your memory
Asking if there are triggers that bring memories of the speaker to mind.
And do you ever wonder
Inquiring if the person ever thinks about what happened to the time spent together.
What became of all the time
Questioning the fate of the time spent in the past.
And darlin' do I ever, ever cross your mind
Repeating the question of whether the person ever thinks about the speaker.
Do you ever want to know
Asking if there is a desire to know about the speaker's existence in the person's thoughts.
If all dreams go on endlessly
Questioning whether dreams persist indefinitely.
Or do they just run down
Contemplating if dreams fade away over time.
Somehow and gradually become
Suggesting the gradual transformation of dreams over time.
The custody of that melancholy jailer father time
Describing time as a melancholy jailer, holding onto memories.
And darlin' do I ever, ever cross your mind
Reiterating the question of whether the person thinks about the speaker.
Do I ever cross your mind
Repeating the initial question about crossing the person's mind.
uninvited - when you're lonely
Suggesting the possibility of being remembered even when not invited.
Or does that only, only happen to me
Wondering if loneliness triggers thoughts of the speaker.
And don't you ever wonder
Asking if the person ever wonders about the speaker.
What became of all the time
Reiterating the question of what happened to the time spent together.
And darlin' do I ever, ever cross your mind
Repeating the question of whether the person thinks about the speaker.
Do I ever cross your mind
Repeating the question of whether the person ever thinks about the speaker.
Uninvited when you're lonely
Reiterating the possibility of being remembered when lonely and uninvited.
Or does that only, only happen to me
Questioning if the experience of being remembered uninvited is unique to the speaker.
And don't you ever wonder
Reiterating the question of what happened to the time spent together.
What became of all the time
Repeating the question of whether the person thinks about the speaker.
And darlin' do I ever, ever cross your mind
Reiterating the question of whether the person thinks about the speaker.
And darlin' do I ever, ever cross your mind
Final repetition of the question, seeking confirmation or acknowledgment.
