lyrics

sometimes I wish I never fell in love
don't know why but it's you I'm thinking of
I've got you on my mind

it ain't your smile or your pretty eyes
it's how you speak like a lullaby
babe I've got you on my mind

close my eyes
pretend you are mine

you ain't been my lover baby, please understand
lots of folks who love you only want you to spread
and it ain't too worth it in the end

so you keep telling your stories
keep singing the songs
I'll run over to you, singing along
I could wander forever in your mind

for now I'll close my eyes
pretend you are mine

when the words won't fall out how I wish I could speak
but I don't mind sitting silently with you
I'm sitting in a vast field of my dreams
babe, I see you nearly every night I sleep
I'd waste my time with you anytime

I close my eyes
everything is alright

when I close my eyes
pretend you are mine
