Topic: Always On The Back Of My Mind

Wife’s away playing golf this weekend and I get to stay home and write stuff. For once she left me with not one honey-do this time. So this first song is for her. Yeah, like most of my songs are not already for her. I hope you all like it.

Re: Always On The Back Of My Mind

Hey thanks you all - I'm sure the wife will like this one too. She told me to write a lot of songs while she's away and play them for her when she gets back tomorrow but this is it so far.

Re: Always On The Back Of My Mind

Hi Jeff,

Lovely song and what a great way to tell your better half how much you missed her while she was away.

Thank you,

Roger

Re: Always On The Back Of My Mind

Yep - she will love this one, I'm sure.  When my wife is away, I mope around a bit and then end up doing all sorts of absurd things like cleaning out and reorganizing cupboards and closets.  She will be gone for 4 days next weekend, so I'm thinking maybe I'll get the yard and garage all spiffy - certianly safer than having her come home and be upset that she can't find anything in the kitchen!

Hope your wife's golf goes well - if it's at least as good as your songwriting, she will be finishing in the top.  James
