thoughts . . .

thinkin' 'bout those mornin's,
'bout those afternoons,
thinkin' 'bout my lady,
the way she laughs and croons. . .

thinkin' 'bout those evenin's,
'bout those lovin' nights,
thinkin' 'bout my lover,
and all of her delights. . .

thinkin' 'bout those hardtimes,
'bout those good times too,
thinkin' 'bout my sugar,
and what we've both been through . . .

thinkin' 'bout those moments,
'bout these changin' times'
thinkin' 'bout my sweetheart,
and how she rings my chimes. . .

thinkin' 'bout what happened,
in the blinkin' of an eye'
thinkin' 'bout the ending,
how things went plumb awry. . .
