Back to Emotions of the Heart

Forever Gentle On My Mind

Since you've gone from me,

My heart has ached for you each day

For, I loved you truly, you will find.

Tears fall often, for you know the memories are sweet

You're forever gentle on my mind.

Love you, oh so much, although I knew you were untrue

Love you, though I knew my love was blind.

When I think of you, I hear your soft and tender words.

You're forever gentle on my mind.

Never got to hold you, never even touched your face,

Touched your soul, and you replied in kind

Even though you've left I feel you deep inside me still

You're forever gentle on my mind.

Maybe there will come a day my spirit will not grieve,

And I leave the ache for you behind

But my soul will always keep you safe, and here with me

You're forever gentle on my mind.
