Well you told me I?d forget you, on the day you went away.
And old memories would fade as time went by.
But the picture?s still so clear, it only seems like yesterday.
They were happy times, yet still the memory makes me cry.
And I understand it?s over, we agreed, it couldn?t last.
And I can face my future, but I can?t erase the past.
Chorus.
You?re in my head, you?re still a part of me.
And all the while, I see your smile, on every face I see.
You?re in my head, I?m still in love with you.
And even after all this time, you?re still the first thing on my mind.
Verse. 2
Well my friends they tell me I?ll be fine, I?ll find somebody new.
But they don?t know, the emptiness inside.
So I?ll go out, put a smile on, and pretend I?m over you.
Oh but darling, I just can?t get you off my mind
And when I go to sleep at night, maybe have a drink or two.
But every time I close my eyes, I dream of only you.
Chorus.
You?re in my head, you?re still a part of me.
And all the while, I see your smile, on every face I see.
You?re in my head, I?m still in love with you.
And even after all this time, you?re still the first thing on my mind.
I can't forget, the nights we shared.
Makin' love beneath the stars.
And I was happier than I had ever dreamed,
And you don't know, you touched my soul
And the flame still burns inside,
I'm gonna love you forever.
Chorus.
You?re in my head, you?re still a part of me.
And all the while, I see your smile, on every face I see.
You?re in my head, I?m still in love with you.
And even after all this time, you?re still the first thing on my mind.
You?re still the first thing on my mind.
You?re still the first thing on my mind.
