"Closest Thing To My Mind" lyrics

Though we've been away from each other, I want you to know
And all the days past when I could let go
All the memories of the one I loved and the good times that we knew
If you don't know by now, let me tell you, honey, that the one I love is you

Oh, 'cause you are the closest thing to my mind
Day or night or anytime
I get lonely, you know I get lonely sometimes
And it's true, I thought of leaving it all behind
How could I be so blind
To drift away from the closest thing to my mind?

Traveling from city to city just to sing my songs
And though the days get shorter or the nights get longer
I know when I'm with you, love, there are things I say in vain
In the quiet night, when I'm here alone
Those words I said, oh, they cause me pain

Oh, 'cause you are the closest thing to my mind
Day or night or anytime
I get lonely, you know I get lonely sometimes
And it's true, I bother leaving it all behind
How could I be so blind
To drift away from the closest thing to my mind?

Ooh, and I'm never, never, never gonna give you up
No, no, honey
Oh, love, we're a million miles away
But ain't it funny?
Ooh, ain't it funny

Yeah, 'cause you
Are the closest thing to my mind
Day or night or anytime
I get lonely, you know I get lonely sometimes
And it's true, I thought of leaving it all behind
How could I be so blind
To drift away from the closest thing to my mind?

(Oh, oh, oh)
And you are the closest thing to my mind
Day or night or anytime
I get lonely, you know I'm getting lonely sometimes...
