Always on My Mind
Regretful Reflections: Shirley Bassey's 'Always on My Mind' Unveiled
Lyrics
Maybe I didn't treat you
Admitting to not treating the person well
Quite as good as I should have
Recognizing the shortfall in treating the person with the deserved care
Maybe I didn't love you
Acknowledging a lack of frequent expressions of love
Quite as often as I could have
Realizing the infrequency of demonstrating affection
Little things I should have said and done
Regret over missed opportunities for thoughtful actions and words
I just never took the time
Expressing regret for not prioritizing the relationship
You were always on my mind
Emphasizing the persistent presence of the person in thoughts
You were always on my mind
Reiterating the constant presence of the person in thoughts
Maybe I didn't hold you
Acknowledging a failure in providing emotional support
All those lonely, lonely times
Reflecting on past moments of feeling alone
And I guess I never told you
Gratefulness for having the person as a partner
I'm so happy that you're mine
Expressing happiness about the relationship
If I made you feel second best
Recognizing the potential of making the person feel undervalued
I'm so sorry I was blind
Apologizing for not realizing the partner's worth
You were always on my mind
Reiterating the constant presence of the person in thoughts
You were always on my mind
Underlining the ongoing thoughts about the person
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Seeking reassurance that love hasn't faded
Give me, give me one more chance
Pleading for another opportunity to make things right
To keep you satisfied, satisfied
Requesting a chance to satisfy the partner's needs
Little things I should have said and done
Regret over missed opportunities for thoughtful actions and words
I just never took the time
Expressing regret for not prioritizing the relationship
You were always on my mind
Emphasizing the persistent presence of the person in thoughts
You were always on my mind
Reiterating the constant presence of the person in thoughts
You were always on my mind
Reinforcing the idea of continuous thoughts about the person
