Topic: I Think of You
In the first couple of lines in Phill's song "Searchin", the lyrics end in the phrase "you're on my mind". This reminded me of a song I wrote a couple autumns ago. My oldest daughter was in an auto accident and so for a month my wife stayed at her house in Florida and did chores for her until she healed. I thought a lot about how I missed our going on walks and enjoying the fall foliage together, and how much I often think about her in all of the seasons, so I wrote this song.
I Think of You Ken Willis
Verse 1
[G]In the warm days of spring, when the [C]earth is renewed
When the [G]trees and the flowers all [D]burst into [D7]bloom
[G]Late in the evening, 'neath a [C]big April moon
[G]I close my eyes and [D]I think of[G]you
Verse 2
[G]Or in the heat of the summer, when the [C]green grass grows high
I [G]lay on my back and stare [D]up at the [D7]sky
At the [G]fluffy white clouds in a [C]big sea of blue
Then [G]I close my eyes and [D]I think of [G]you
Verse 3
[G]When the cool air of autumn is [C]borne on the breeze
And [G]carries a paint brush to the [D]woodlands and [D7]trees
When the [G]leaves falling down are all [C] colors and hues
[G]I close my eyes and [D]I think of [G]you...[G7]
Bridge
The [C]change of the seasons, the [G]circle of life
The [D]ups and the downs like some [G]carnival ride [G7]
But [C]one thing's for certain in this [G]passage of time
When [D]I close my eyes, you'll [C]be on my [G]mind
Verse 4
[G]In the middle of winter, when the [C]cold north winds blow
When the [G]earth is all covered in a [D]blanket of [D7]snow
When the [G]sparks from the wood fire [C]dance in the flue
[G]I close my eyes and [D]I think of [C]you...[G] [C] [G]
I want to read my own water, choose my own path, write my own songs
