Here In the Back of My Mind

Looking in your eyes, I see Some places where I've been. And in countless places, far and wide, I've tried and tried again To put you somewhere in my life That I can always find. Now, when I'm down, you're easily found -- Here in the back of my mind. Here in the back of my mind I know I can always find The memory of a time or place You have left behind. You seldom leave, so it's hard to believe That you'd ever be so unkind To leave nothing at all to show you were here -- Here in the back of my mind. This place in the back of my mind Is where I can usually find An echo of a yesterday That sometimes crosses my mind. And if memories live, then you should know, A special place you'll find That's yours alone forevermore -- Here in the back of my mind.
