You Don't Run Across My Mind

“You Don’t Run Across My Mind”
Written by Irene Kelley/Peter Cooper
-------------------------------

Maybe I’m a passing thought, when the wood smoke’s in the air
Maybe I’m a summer breeze, in the July weather fair

*(But )You don’t run across my mind, you’re in there all the time
You don’t travel through my heart, you are not a moving part
You’re here and here you’ll stay, and though you’re far away
Years and years and still I find, you don’t run across my mind

Maybe I’m a coat you wore, through some winter long ago
Worn so close but left behind, when the spring replaced the snow
(*)
Maybe when you think of me, in some fleeting now and then
Know that you are dear to me, and that my love knows no end
(*)
