Always on My Mind
Unspoken Regrets and Enduring Love: Always on My Mind by The Nashville Riders
Lyrics
Maybe I didn't love you
Expressing regret for not loving the person enough.
Quite as often as I could have
Acknowledging a lack of frequent expressions of love.
And maybe I didn't treat you
Admitting to not treating the person as well as they deserved.
Quite as good as I should have
Recognizing a shortfall in the quality of treatment given.
If I made you feel second best
Apologizing for making the person feel less valued.
Girl I'm sorry I was blind
Expressing regret for not realizing the person's importance.
You were always on my mind
Acknowledging the constant presence of the person in thoughts.
You were always on my mind
Reiterating that the person was always in the thoughts.
And maybe I didn't hold you
Admitting a failure to provide emotional support during lonely times.
All those lonely, lonely times
Reflecting on not being there for the person in their loneliness.
I guess I never told you
Realizing a lack of verbal affirmation of happiness in the relationship.
I am so happy that you're mine
Expressing joy in having the person as a partner.
Little things I should have said and done
Regretting missed opportunities to express love through actions.
I just never took the time
Admitting a failure to take the time for important expressions.
You were always on my mind
Affirming that the person was always a significant thought.
You were always on my mind
Reiterating the constant presence of the person in thoughts.
Tell me
Pleading for assurance regarding the endurance of sweet love.
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Requesting confirmation that love has not diminished.
And give me
Seeking another opportunity to maintain satisfaction in the relationship.
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
Expressing a desire for a chance to make amends and keep the person content.
I'll keep you satisfied
Promising to ensure the person's satisfaction in the future.
Little things I should have said and done
Regretting missed chances to express love through actions (repeated).
I just never took the time
Reiterating a failure to allocate time for important expressions (repeated).
You were always on my mind (you were always on my mind)
Affirming the constant presence of the person in thoughts (repeated).
You were always on my mind
Reiterating that the person was always in the thoughts (repeated).
You were always on my mind (you were always on my mind)
Affirming the constant presence of the person in thoughts (repeated).
You were always on my mind
Reiterating that the person was always in the thoughts (repeated).
