Poem

Maybe I didn't listen when you told me
Your heart was gentle and kind
Maybe I didn't understand, but you could
have shown me...

All the reasons you were going to move on
All the feelings that were finally gone
All the chances I had actually blown!

Maybe I didn't know you
because I never knew
the way that you would leave me
deceive me with the honest truth
Believe me, darling – I never knew

Finally, I let you down for the last time
You're going away to never return
And I don't have a right to follow you
Into the future where you’ll be without me

Girl, I'm sorry that I never sold you
On the belief that I was the King of Rock
You said I was like a stone instead,
Always holding you down so you'd
Nearly sink like a rock!

Maybe I didn't know you
Quite as well as I should have
Because I didn't know you
Would leave me without a second thought

All the reasons that I love you
Have been buried with our past
You are the reason that I'm discouraged

This King of Rock just doesn't roll like
he did when he was there beside you,
bringing hope to the heart, faith to the soul
feelings that were dim to the brilliance of a light
so alive it feels like, here on the inside...

Maybe I will never believe you
could just leave me without a reason to…
Sing this song, pleading with you
to listen to my heart - it is beating for you!

Yes, darling - You were always on my mind
YOU WERE ALWAYS ON MY MIND
