Maybe I didn't treat you,

Quite as good as I should have

Maybe I didn't love you,

Quite as often as I should have

Little things, I should have said and done,

I just never took the time...

You were always on my mind,

You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you,

All those lonely lonely times

And I guess I never told you,

I'm so happy that your mine

If I made you feel second best,

Well I'm sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind,

You were always on my mind

Tell, Tell me, Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died

Give to me, give me one more chance

To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done,

I just never took the time

You were always on my mind, yeah...

You were always on my mind....

Send me the pillow that you dream on

Don't you know that I still care for you?

Send me the pillow that you dream on

So darling, I can dream on it, too

Each night while I'm sleeping oh, so lonely

I'll share your love in dreams that once were true

Send me the pillow that you dream on

So darling, I can dream on it, too

Send me the pillow that you dream on

Maybe time will let our dreams come true

Send me the pillow that you dream on

So darling, I can dream on it, too

I've waited so long for you to write me

But just a memory's all that's left of you

Send me the pillow that you dream on

So darling, I can dream on it, too

So I can dream on it, too.

I know it's late

I know you're weary

I know your plans don't include me

Still here we are

Both of us lonely

Longing for shelter from all that we see

Why should we worry?

No one will care, girl

Look at the stars now, so far away

We've got tonight

Who needs tomorrow?

We've got tonight, babe, why don't you stay?

Deep in my soul

I've been so lonely

All of my hopes fading away

I've longed for love

Like everyone else does

I know I'll keep searching after today

So there it is, girl

We've got it all now

And here we are, babe

What do you say?

We've got tonight

Who needs tomorrow?

We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?

I know it's late and I know you're weary

I know your plans don't include me

Still here we are

Both of us lonely , both of us lonely

We've got tonight

Who needs tomorrow?

Let's make it last

Let's find a way

Turn out the light, come take my hand now

We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?

We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?
